Default Fastest Process Over!

I can't believe this guys! This process is going SO fast! Two weeks ago, I went to the first consultation, Yesterday I had my Bod Pod appointment and today the surgeon's office called to make my appointment for next Tuesday. In a matter of three weeks, I'm in to see the surgeon.

How long does it typically take after your first appointment with the surgeon?

It took me about four months from my first appointment with my surgeon 'til I had the surgery. But I had not done anything else prior to meeting with the surgeon. I had to do my psych eval and my visit with the dietician and my pre-op class and all the other pre-op appointments in between there. If you've already done some other appointments, it may not take you as long.
