Hello! I am in the pre op process and wondering what to expect timeline wise. I completed all pre op requirements besides finishing the three month medically supervised weight loss required by bcbs fep (should be done end of August) and being cleared by a cardiologist. I had an abnormal EKG which neither the PA at the bariatric program nor the cardiologist think is a problem, but I will have some heart tests the second week of July.
I work as a clinical psychologist and tend to be booked out two months in advance, with groups being scheduled through the end of the year. I want to give my clients and supervisor as much notice as possible.
What was your timeline like in terms of when you were approved by insurance, and when you got your surgery date? How much time did you request off work? I work 10 (which means 11-12) hour days so will probably return half time for a week or two when I first come back.
