Hello everyone!! I am just finishing up my last required nutritional appointment and have met all of my other insurance requirements. I was looking to see how long approximately it took to get a surgery date after your requirements were met.

I am super excited to start this journey. I have been overweight most of my life and failed diet after failed diet I was ready to really invest in a new me. I am currently 5'6.5 and 230lb. I have diabetes and PCOS and looking forward hopefully a healthier me after vsg!

I think it depends on your insurance. My insurance approved my surgery within 24 hours but I am not sure that is the norm. Congrats though!

I think it really just depends on your doctor and schedule my surgery was approved on November 20. When my doctors office called to schedule the earliest that they had with the December the 19th.
