MissBS, thx for the tip on taking all documention with u. I do have it all. Even have xtra copies just in case they want one, but the journey for this surgery is very long and tiring so i plann to make the most of it.

Hello, I was with True Results of Atlanta. I will be having my surgery in Suwanne Ga. The staff there was good, but I had problems getting feed back form my Insurance advocate. Did true results turn u over to doctor? and did u have to do a exam again.?

I was originally with True Results of Atlanta. I thought i was doing all my test with them. I did it all ekg, psych evaluation, nutritionist, then on 2 separate nites i had to go to the sleep clinic. I was very confused about how they did stuff because i really got no feed back from the insurance advocate. I had to call my insurance company and they told me . True Results was not in network. I was not informed of this. After several calls i was informed that i would be turned over to the drs. office that was gonna do the surgery. So now i have to take a class with that drs. office, then on Oct. 30 I have a consult. with the doctor. I was told he was gonna sign me off for my insurance for approval for the surgery. But as iam talking with them on the phone it sounds like another exam for the surgery when i have already did one. so really iam confused , but i will let u know what happens next, because i have done everything my insurance required and then some.

hey, me again, iam also with bc/bs of ga. my bmi is 40.7. i am top heavy. i have sleep apnea and joint pains , so due to that it made my walking the trails with my kids kinda painfull. The people on my job has had gastric bypass and the insurance had no problem with paying it, so i hope i have no problems either. i was told if my paper work was completed correctly, i would have no problems , but know these insurance companies these days, but good luck with you and your moms.

I am a patient of Dr. Hart in Suwanee , Ga. Anyone been banded by him? I have a class on the lap banding and then my consult.

No, you are not alone. I am from Lawrenceville, GA. I have done everything just waiting for 1 class and a consult. Hope to see u post again.

hello, I am from Georgia too .I go for my class on oct. 16. I have completed all the tests,now I am waiting for my consult with Dr. Hart. I started out with True Results, on completion of everything they turned me over to Dr. Hart. So now I am eagerly awaiting everything.

i am waiting too. my last app. is with the dictor to sign off for my insurance. soo excited about it i called and said if anyone cancelled their app. i will be available anytime to come in.

hello, i had my evaluation with True Results ,they weighed me ,took blood, and gave me an ekg. then they turn me over to the doctor who is going to do my surgery, now he says he has to do evaluation on me too. i thought that was strange.

Hello, I have bc/bs of ga. If u are out of network. I was told u have to pay everything before the surgery of or get your own financing. I was also told on the phone I would not a 6 month diet plann, My bmi was 40.7. I learned to call behind the doctors office and double check everything they say. Because to get u in there they will say u are covered and then hit u with u got to pay this and that . But I feel your pain. I started Aug. 12, 2008. I had to go to 2 sleep studies. Now I have to wait till Oct. 30 for my appt. with the doctor. But I am trying to be patient along with being excited about the surgery.I hope everything goes well for you. Try(care credit for medical financing). good luck
