My doc said 6 months start to finish. However my potential date insurance willing is 5 months from start. I think it’s mostly insurance requirements

That was very fast. My doctor has sent out my referrals so I'm hoping to start getting my appointments done soon

Good luck!!

For me, it was August of last year until February 21. I had some hang-ups with the process, simply because my blood sugar was so uncontrolled, but I was still able to get the surgery quicker than they expected. Then again, my insurance (Cigna) only required 3 months of medically assisted weight loss.

I wish you the best of luck, honey! You got this! ❤️
