Oh, I'm happy to see someone with my same situation - even same Dr. I'm just a month further along in my 6 months of WAITING ! I'm no closer to understanding the mysteries that our ins. imposes! I can't even imagine going thru the 6 months of Dr. visits, then having pre-authorization submitted, only to find they need more info ??!! I cried for two days, when I found out that I had to wait the 6 months AND spend more $ on 6 Dr. visits, to a Dr. that absolutely supports me in having vertical sleeve done. By August, I should be able to submit for authorization. Then it's about two weeks to get authorization back and THEN meet with surg. again and schedule surgery.
Like it doesn't take a lot of thought and study just to get to the point of pursuing this!
Yes, I am frustrated! Trying to be patient... and Very Determined!
