waiting for a date

how long does it take to get a date set? i have been told about 8 weeks for insurance to review all of my info, is that true?

Hi Nicole, I'm having the lap band and it took about 2 weeks for my approval from my insurance but they did tell me it could take up to 4 weeks and my schedule date for the surgery was included in the letter I received: scheduled for June 3rd. Ora
