6 months medically supervised weight loss before surgery
Hello, i am hoping to have gastric bypass surgery very soon. i have completed 5 of the 6 month medically supervised weightless seminars. I have health first and its required. I haven't lots much weight only 10 pounds. I was wondering how long it takes to get a surgery date after the completion of these seminars. Will it take a lot of months or is it usually quick? Anyone else with health first? Thank you for answering!
I am absolutely sure it does not usually happen like it did for me but, wow it went fast. I had my final visit on a Thursday - I called the following Monday to see if my request had been sent in and found out I had been approved. The next morning (Tuesday) I get a call from the surgeon's office that they had a cancellation on Monday- could I make it. And I did! I was so glad I did not have a long drawn out wait time. I think once the insurance approves it is scheduling the surgeon and the hospital that takes so much time.
