CALL!!!!!!!! don't know how to make it any clear. LOL call them Monday dont wait another day! I would call insurance then the Dr's office. I kept in contact weekly making sure things were in order. You dont realize how many times the ball can be dropped and you have to stay on top of everything. I am not blaming the insurance company or the Dr's office but honestly you think of who all they have to deal with. I had to call on test results that were just sitting there at the hospital and not faxed to Dr.'s offfice, I had to stay on top of both. My nurse at the Dr's office heard from me weekly, either by email or calling. I would call her to tell her what test were done and had she received yet. I also had the nurse drop the ball she was suppose to send me a list of items I had to have done and she forgot. I had psyc. eval. done and was waiting, when I called a week later she informed me of the other items I had to have done. She stated it was on the list and I said you did not send that list to me. She was sorry and faxed over same day to me. Luckily I was able to get in for the test within a couple days.

Good Luck!!!!!

I am going thru the same thing had my appt on the 3rd and can't wait

I will second the being on track helping with the weight loss. I was at 357 while jumping through the insurance hoops. During that time I was able to loose 34 lbs on on a low-carb high protein diet. Since proteins are of such high importance post-op it seemed the natural way to do it. So I started my 2 week pre-op diet at 323. By my surgery date I was 299, and I am 13 days out and at 275. I strongly believe that already having my body used to losing weight has helped m post op. So start what you can now get your body used to giving up the fat and it will be very beneficial post-op.
