HOW LONG

How long after you first appt with the doctor did you get your surgery date. I am trying to find out approx. how long does the process take.

Approximately three months for me. I wish you luck! Keke

i read your member page.. i would like to know about your progress now.. how much weight have you loo in total to date?

I've lost about 75. I'm at a stall right now and I wi**** would pass quick, fast, and in a hurry but this too shall pass. I just need to make some adjustments. Keke

About 4 months until I got a date, 6 months until my surgery. Vickie J.

mine was 6 weeks. I tink it depends on the insurance and the doctors schedule. best wishes

I hope it goes by fast. I have Cigna for my insurance. I see the doctor tomorrow. Thanks for your support

It took me over a year to get coverage with Cigna (initial denial and two appeals) and then only a couple of months to schedule the proceedure. You might want to check out http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Cignassqueakywheels/ for more information. Good Luck
