How long was your pre-op process?
sharonsjourney replied to SarahSleeve's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had my first appointment with surgeon on 1/7/16 and had surgery on 3/7/16. So in two months I completed a battery of tests, X-rays, evals, etc. but I was extremely driven to get things done quickly. Also I was lucky insurance did not require a lengthly supervised diet. One month post op and lost 24 lbs since surgery, so thrilled! -

Unfortunately I had the same issue! I had to have a sleep study. Usually sleep apnea is the key. -

HI, I just had my sleep study even though I didn't feel as though I have sleep apnea. I haven't got he results yet. Did you feel like you had it? Just curious since I need it for my comorbidity. Sharon -

What Did You Learn About Insurance? Share Your Wisdom!
sharonsjourney replied to Alex Brecher's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I was surprised to find out that I have to pay all my co-pays, deductables and out of pocket expenses up front to the surgeon's office prior to surgery. The surgeon's office states because this is considered an elective surgery. I'm not sure if this is an insurance rule or surgeon's rule but good to know since my fee's will be several thousand dollars. yikes! -
Thank you all for your suggestions. I appreciate this forum, the support is incredible ????
-
I like the suggestions so far, I'm taking them all in so I'm ready for the next DD. Thanks ????

Thanks for all of the great information! I'm looking forward to getting a surgery date soon ????
