I had my first consult appointment today. Im going to the Weight Loss and Surgery Center in Oswego, NY. I’m all set up with 4 more appointments. One to meet the surgeon, one psychology appt, and two nutritionist appointments.
I was a little disappointed that they said they believe my insurance requires 6 months of appointments. They said they’ll try to submit the paperwork at 3 months but it will probably be 6 months. So that’s a bummer. I knew that you couldn’t just snap your fingers and get a date but in my mind I was thinking like 10 weeks. ( I was going off of the time it took my sisters friend who just had surgery at the same location.) I wish they would count the time that I’ve been researching 😃🤪
The good news is that I don’t really need to do anything test wise because I happen to of had all the requirements already met. I’ve had a chest X-ray, and abdominal ultrasound, an ekg, an endoscopy, an upper GI, already done this year and I already have a stress echo scheduled that my primary doctor ordered last month. So, the practitioner said I’ll need blood work and that’s all. So, now I just make theses appointments, try to be in the best shape I can be for whenever I can have surgery and wait.
