had scope a week ago, how long is the usual wait time before surgery ?

Have not heard anything yet. How long did some of you wait after getting scoped for your surgery to take place? Let me add that have had blood work and stress test also done. Met surgeon first ! And group dietician ! had psych exam ! What is left ?

It really depends on what your insurance requirements are. 

Did you have to do a 3 or 6 month supervised diet and exercise?  Have you called your surgeon's office to ask them?

Some want an EKG done and sleep test others don't.

Every surgeon is different. And every insurance company has different rules.

I went to the first information session on August 10th 2013.  He required multiple tests (a gallbladder ultrasound, an EKG, a heart doctor clearance, an upper GI, a psych eval, 3 visits with the dietitian, etc.  My insurance required a 90 day program.

So, I was not even eligible until December.  Since my wife had already had several of the tests done for other reasons, she could go sooner, so she did. Then I waited until she was on break from school to have mine done in Feb.

So, you really have to see what your surgeon and insurance require.

I had to complete my six month supervised diet, psych eval, and other testing, and once my surgery was approved by my insurance, then I had my EGD (scope). I came back to the hospital two days later to have all of my pre-op testing done and surgery was about 3-4 weeks later. My surgeon could have performed it sooner, but I needed to get coverage for work, wrap up some projects, etc. 

Best wishes!
