Ok...so I went to the mandatory orientation today at the facility I plan on having a gastric bypass at. If I understand correctly, FEP Blue requires 6 months from the start to the surgery. My question is, when does that 6 month period begin? I went to my family doctor three weeks ago to try to get the ball rolling and have my weight documented, along with the desire to have WLS. I have to have a phone meeting with the director of the facility next Friday, and after that phone meeting, I can set up a meeting with the surgeon.
So, my question is will the 6 months start at my dr appt a few weeks ago, the orientation today or the appt with the surgeon?
Thanks!
