During my psychic as well as dietitian consult. I was asked, how long have Ive been thinking about the surgery. I answered truthfully and said not that long just at the beginning of the year. But I've definitely done my research on it.

Would this answer hurt me in the end when they submit all documents to insurance for an approval? Should I have said a couple of years? .....

Nah, I doubt it. It's May, so that's 5 months. I was self-pay, so not quite the same thing, but I decided I wanted surgery and 2 weeks later I had my stomach cut out. I think you saying 5 months is an entirely appropriate answer.
