After my insurance company approves for my panniculectomy, how long do I have to wait to get my surgery?

Once approved by your insurance it's up to your surgeon and the facility to find the necessary time. I'm sure his schedulers could give you a better idea. 

The timing for your surgery once you get approval will depend on your surgeon's schedule and the schedule of the hospital. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Hello,
Thank you for your question. Once the panniculectomy is approved, timing depends on the availability of your surgeon and the surgery facilities. In general, it is two weeks from approval to surgery for my patients.
Best wishes,

There is no specific time frame that is required between approval by insurance company and date of surgery.  Even if you are still waiting on your approval, you can likely speak to the surgery scheduler at your surgeons office to see what their availability is like for the upcoming months-best of luck!

it would all depend upon OR availability and surgeon’s schedules.  This tends to be more limited during the holiday season.
