Mentor/Sleeve Buddy in the Philadelphia Area?
tdc replied to JupiterinVirgo's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My insurance was submitted in Thursday. Hopefully I will here something this week.Fingers crossed! If all goes as planned when will your pre-ops diet start? Carlie said to start the 24th. Right before Thanksgiving. But that actually gives me 16 days liquids. Why would it be so long? -
We are scheduled the exact same day with the exact Same doctor. My time is at 11am. I am still waiting in insurance approval though. It was submitted just waiting to hear back and it is nerve racking. I live in bucks county but he l grew up in philly and my mom still lives in philly.

tdc replied to kversteeg's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am just waiting on insurance and exhausted by the whole process. I have a date of dec.10 and praying for approval. I will have a 14 day liquid so hoping this approval comes soon. I cut out caffeine, replaced one meal with protein shakes i also won't eat and drink anymore to get used to doing it after. It is very real. I am not nervous actually excited to see the new me. -

karla 777 - so glad to hear you were approved. Were there any issues with the 2 year weight history? I am anticipating this is where I will have issues as my 2 year weight history has my BMI at 32 and 33 and right now I am 35. Appreciate any guidance you can provide. @@dekathe Did you every get approved? -

Yes 2013, 2015. The one time I did go in 2014 I was under... but the 2013 was only a month before.

I had one last week and they dropped it off at 7pm and picked it around 7am would have come earlier but I didn't have to work. They even caked me with my results and report after 3 days. My mom had her done by a different doctor. She picked hers up and then dropped it off the next day. It is very easy they show you and give you written instructions. I had a pulse oxygen reading on right hand finger. Nasal sensor (looks like I was getting oxygen) and a band with a monitor around my chest.

I an afraid if the same thing. They are submitting my insurance this week. So we will see.

December 10th... just did my psychological visit yesterday. So once that report is sent they will submit to insurance.

Sorry see my response

I called when I was going through none. No you don't have to go to a center of excellence. By your doctor and hospital must be preferred and make sure that their NPI number they bill under is preferred.

Me to bucks county. But I am going to chestnut hill.

I am scheduled for December 10th also. Just waiting on the approval.

I hope I have my own room. I am extremely excited, nervous and ready. My husband is super supportive. Thank god. I am ready to feel alive again without all the pain. To be able to do stuff with my 11 year old and not be out of breath, tired, or ready to sit down cause in pain. The crazy part people look at me and make the comment I didn't know you weighed that much. I hide it well. @@dhrguru
