So I have a class to take for my nutritionist on the 20th and then my paper work can be submitted to insurance for approval. I have bcbs and I'm figuring it'll take a week or two for my paper work to be sent. Maybe I'm wrong? Just trying to get a consensus on how long it might take to have an answer back and when I might be able to get a surgery date (best guess). Any ideas/what was your experience? I'm thinking (hoping) by early mid December my answer will be in and I can set a date, but I'm not sure if that seems an over or under estimate...

times can be all over the board I have seen 3 month 6 months, and in some cases a year. Part of it will depend on you as well as most programs require you lose some weight on your own first.

It'll take as long as it'll take. That answer might not be comforting but it'll give you the most accurate expectation. Good luck!
