How long did eveyon had to wait before they get to schedule they actual surgery

It depends on your insurance if you are using insurance or your medical group. My insurance had no wait period but my team required a 3 month monitored program - which was just enough time to get all the pre-op stuff done. Psych eval, cardiology, endoscopy, etc. Plus the pre-op and post-op nutrition classes. I had my first visit with my team on May 11. I had my surgery on August 23. Some insurance plans have a six month requirement.

If you are going to Mexico, it's based upon your schedule only, I believe.

Check your policy.

I had my first consult June 16th and my surgery is scheduled for December 5th. It may have been a little sooner but the lady who handles sending in the approval letter to my insurance company apparently forgot to send mine in and when I called 2 weeks later she said she had just submitted it. So that’s been a sore spot for me but other than that everything has gone smoothly

My insurance required 3 visits with dietician with weigh ins. I had to be down at least 1lb every weigh in to still qualify
