What can I expect? When will I be scheduled to meet with my surgeon? How long will I have to wait too I have my surgery date?

If it was like mine it is for information purposes. You will be presented with all of the options and hopefully opportunities to ask questions and meet post-op patients. I was able to schedule an appt to meet with my surgeon a week later. At that appt I was set up for pre-op testing and the req classes my insurance has for WLS. The insurance will play a factor too.

write down questions before and write down answers at seminar for later when you get a one on one with surgeon.

good luck!

Insurance usually requires 3-6 months of supervised weight loss. Mine is only 3. I went to my informational seminar mid February a week and a half later met with my surgeon on that visit we went over all questions and laid out the plan and scheduled my next 3 appointments exactly 1 month apart to the day I had my second apointment last Thursday from there I have 2 more last one mid may and then they can then submit everything to my insurance for approval. The insurance has 2 weeks to approve or deny coverage. So hopefully I'll have a surgery date scheduled for early to mid june. I know it seems like an eternity but the time flies by especially with all u have to get done for your insurance to approve it I fell like I'm constantly going to appointments, group meetings ect in preperation and the closer I get the more nervous I feel like there's still so much to be done. The 3-6 months will fly by just stick to your program and focus on your WL goals and your lifestyle changes! Good luck hope I was able to give you some sort of time frame knowledge! Lol
