BCBS 6 month process...month 2 preop

Heeyyyyyy my first post (im a bit of a lurker)!

So this is month 2 of my 6 month process. Ive had the initial class and meeting with the surgeon and my first nutrition class in September. The 2nd one is next week.

2 questions

1: Do i have to schedule all the tests and stuff myself--stress test, ekg, upper gastro, psych, etc during these 6 months?

2: If my 6 month process ends in February does that mean (barring any complications with insurance) i could have my surgery in march?

Thanks for the help!

    My surgeon's office scheduled all my visits for me so I was able to move through the process much faster than if I had to make them myself. Sent from my XT1096 using the BariatricPal App

The dr office should be meeting with you and explaknig the process. My office made most of my appointments for me. Some things, like stress test, I did. As far as insurance, many require y months supervised, so surgery right after that. Good luck. Don't be afraid to ask all your questions at the practice you are going to. Its very different from practice to practice
