I live in west Michigan and will be meeting with my surgeon on Thursday for my first consult. I went to a seminar for his services last month and I am just curious going forward what can I expect? How long from first appt till they submit for pre-approval? My bmi is 43, I'm 38, double covered blue care network and priority health with $2700 set aside in flex spending for surgery. I think I've covered all my bases on my own but now the real work on their ends start. I need to write my "why" letter, and ideas? I'd love some input as I think I over killed mine.
