Question:
How long is the wait?

Today I had my physiologist appointmant. I have 5 more pounds to lose and I'm at the goal weight they set for me. How long after you speak with the physiologist do you get a call with the date of the surgery. I'm so happy everything went good today. I knew it would, but still I was a little nervous. Now i just want to get the date and start my new life. I know it will be hard at first but well worth it later. Thanks for comments and reading my question Theresa L    — treeeza (posted on April 14, 2009)

i to had the rny on april the 2nd, it took me 6 months to get everything done. are you haviing to go to a cardio, lung, and your pcp to get clearance first? it also depends on your insurance plan.

As the previous responder said it depends on if you have any consults to get, then it gets submitted to your insurance for preauthorization so you need to check with your surgeons office about how things proceed.

Hi Theresa, I had my psychological in mid Feb. then they sent that in to insurance for approval. While I was waiting for that I went to all my classes and any tests the surgeon wanted done. My surgery is 4/29. Although it could have been done probably late march but the surgeon changed hospitals so there was a delay. But again it depends on your surgeon, the tests you need and the insurance approval process. But mine was roughly 2 months, really quick. Good luck!
