I was just curious to know how long after you got approved by insurance did you have surgery?

It all depends on how busy the surgeon is, and what his pre-op requirements are.  Mine was 5 weeks because of scheduling, with the last 10 days of it being my pre-op liquid diet.

I had to be under Dr. Walton's care for six months before the insurance would approve. 
 

34 lbs. lost before surgery on December 22, 2008.   105 lbs. lost prior to signing up for WLS.

I am finishing up my 6 month supervised diet with Dr. Walton, I was just curious to know how long after the insurance was approved was the surgery scheduled?  I have done everything else needed.

I was scheduled after I lost the required pre-op weight...  I didn't have insurance to cover WLS so that wasn't an issue.  I'm thinking if you are at their required weight they will get you on the schedule soon.  You may have to "bug" them!!! 

This is the ride of my life.....what an amazing tool I now have!!!
