How long was it before you had surgery
I had done quite a bit of research before I went to the surgeons seminar and had made the decision that I wanted wls. I went to the seminar in mid October and surgery mid December. My surgeon was a few weeks out after the seminar so my PCP ordered all the pre-op requirements, these were provided to me at the seminar. I also had a delay of a couple weeks due to an initial insurance denial.

Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
It probably took about a month or two. It took me a while to do the paperwork and pre-op things though. About 6 months total.
I had my first meeting with the clinic in August and Sugery in December. The time frame was due to my insurance requiring a 3 month structured diet plan. Once I had the approval from insurance at the end of Nomeber it was just a few weeks for the actual sugery!!

My insurance (BCBS) required a 6 month medically supervised weight loss attempt. After that from the day the clinic submitted to insurance to the day I was approved was 8 days. Once approved on 10/29, my surgery was scheduled for 11/26. (I ended up rescheduling to 12/11 though)
