If you feel it's settling, then I think you don't really like the guy. I'd tell him and not strong him along Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've known people who have been denied a few times and a few who were approved in no time. To me, I think it depends on him many claims they have to review, the mood they're in, and sometimes I think they want to get the person to get frustrated and give up.

Congrats. I'm waiting for insurance approval as well Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Depends on your insurance, my insurance holds a meeting once a month to see who's approved/denied. If papers are submitted after that meeting you wait until the following month Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I told/tell anyone who asks. There's such a stigma about it, I feel if I can educate someone about it then it's great. I know people who don't tell anyone and then others speculate that they're I'll. I'm an open and honest speak my mind person anyway Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I believe it's one visit a month. At least mine was. I have BCBS Excellus and I was only required 4 NUT visits, 1 visit each month, psych evaluation Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How my insurance works is that they hold a meeting once a month for approvals. If your paperwork is submitted after they have it already, it's gets put in for the next month's meeting. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What about the coffee flavored Protein shakes. Haven't tried them but seen them. Not sure about the sugar content though Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I asked my ob/gyn first, she told me the same thing. My primary finally did it but took him awhile. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have finished all my requirements; nutritionist appointments, psych evaluation, my surgeon's office calls says they have not receive the letter of support from primary. So, I've been calling every day, first they never received anything from the surgeon, now since they sent it again, I'm getting no call backs. The surgeon can not submit to insurance without it. Any suggestions, does anyone know if I change doctors, if the new one would support it being a new patient. Just hate to think I've gone through the whole process for nothing. It's very frustrating, the office staff at my primary are getting rude with me. Blahhhhh. Sorry had to vent ~Jenn~

Finally surgeon received my letter from my primary. Now it's a wait for insurance approval Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Is couscous a puréed or soft food?? I've been trying recipes for after surgery and couscous is nice and soft, but I believe it's a Pasta??? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Well checked with the surgeon this morning, they still haven't received anything for my primary. I called again left a message. Don't know what I'm going to do. They wanted to send everything to insurance by the end of this month. Uuugghhh Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Does it have everything?? I am taking D, B2, Calcium and multi. Can barely stomach them ~Jenn~

Just got back from seeing my primary, he was waiting for more info from the surgeon; my labs, psych report, nutritionist report. He said he was under the impression that I still had to finish a few appointments. So he is sending a letter to the surgeon. Phewwee. Now it's really a waiting game ~Jenn~

I'm in Rochester too. Waiting on approval ~Jenn~

I just made an appointment for Thursday, because I still have not got a call back, I left a message for him again yesterday and I talked to his nurse ~Jenn~
