Hi everyone! My name is Sunny. I've been lurking around for a while and finally decided to make a profile for myself. I spoke with my PCP today and he is 100% for me having the surgery and put in the official referral. Next is going to the mandatory conference and setting up my appointment. Wish me luck!:)

    It depends on your insurance as well.

    For example, I had (and am currently in the middle of) my 6 month supervised "diet" that needs to be done before I am completely approved. I am then under the impression that the surgeons (at my center) are usually booked 4 weeks out.

    Some insurances require different lengths. Some don't. Some doctors require a specific time. Some don't. Some require weight loss. Some don't. Lol.

    It varies
