CarolinaSleeve 9 Posted April 27, 2011 I have a BMI of 37 one day 38 the next. I have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea and hypertension. I have complted my consult with the surgeon, dietician, and psych evaluation done. I have completed the six month supervised diet. I have a letter of surgical nesessity from my GP and from my foot specialists, I will be getting another letter from the doctor that i weighed with monthly. I have requested my medical records, I have requested information form the sleep center. I feel as though there is something else I should be trying to do! Please tell me what I am missing! I want to make sure that my t's are crossed!!! Any advice will be very helpful! (Sorry about spelling) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashleyc 10 Posted April 27, 2011 It really depends on your insurance. I have fep blue and I just found the policy outline online and looked up my requirements there. Good Luck!! I am pre-op too and I am seriously obsessing too!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MSanti 52 Posted April 27, 2011 I agree with Ashley I think it depends on your insurance. The best thing to do is contact them directly and ask for the requirements. Good luck! Pre-op here as well. Surgery is scheduled for Monday! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
