Hey guys

I'm curious to know , how long did it take for you until you got the surgery?

Did u had to follow a traject before the surgery or was you immediately proven fit to be operated

Thanks [emoji1317]

Here's my timeline...

• Initial consultation & first weigh-in: October 23, 2014
• Paperwork submitted to insurance company: November 2014
• Approval from insurance company: December 26, 2014
• First surgery date: February 4, 2015 (couldn't make it due to weather)
• Second surgery date: March 16, 2015 (canceled; I failed cardiac clearance)
• Third surgery date: April 20, 2015 (finally happened)

So, if everything had gone as planned, my original surgery date would have been 3.5 months after my initial consultation. However, some unforeseen delays arose.

I was self paying so that's always faster, when I had my initial consult they also did the cardiac testing, diet consult and I did psych eval on the phone so once everything was cleared which took about a week they called the next day and scheduled surgery so from initial consult to surgery was almost 4 weeks

By the time I met my surgeon on June 29, I already had completed my insurance requirement for 6 months of medically supervised weight loss with my PCP. I met with the nutritionist and hospital psychologist a week later. My insurance approved the surgery about a week and a half after that and I'm scheduled for surgery 9/14.
