How long did you have to actually wait for your surgery after insurance approval

My insurance approved me for the surgery two weeks ago. Now I have to go through a pre-op appointment on Wednesday and then I get to pick a surgery date. I wanted to know how far away do you have wait for your surgery after your pre-op visit with the surgeon?
I'm so excited I can't sleep at night.

I would think it would depend on the Surgeon's schedule. In my case (and I am TriCare and had my RNY at a MTF) it was about 6 weeks from my pre~op one on one with my Surgeon to I actually had the surgery.

It will likely depend on your surgeons schedule and also on any pre-surgery requirements your surgeon may have.
Some surgeons require a percentage of pounds lost before surgery.
Others require a 1 to 4 week liquid diet prior to surgery.

My surgery could have been done in less than 3 weeks after insurance approval, but I postponed my surgery until the first of the year so my hubby could have some vacation days to spend with me.
