Hi, I'm new and already have questions...
I also had a long weight for my initial consult with Dr. Singh - Called in May, appointment in November. I took the time to complete my six month supervised weightloss, get my psych eval, see the nutritionist etc.
By the time my consult came (I did have to move it back a month), I was ready to submit to the insurance company. I got approved in less than two weeks. I probably could have had my surgery in Feb. but I put it off until April for work related reasons.
I also used the time to speak with post-ops, attend support groups to make sure that I was making an informed desicion.
