Jburkley819 3 Posted April 9, 2012 Thanks!!! , I have not talked with my surgeon yet, just the insurance but when my pre- surgical coordinator submitted the paper work they said it would be on the 20th of this month which I may Have to change to the 27th for work reasons ( insurance gives me 90 day window to reschedule is need be) but it's soon and that's all that matters!

urbandecayno5 40 Posted April 11, 2012 What kind of things did the insurance require of you? I had gotten approved with the 6mo nut appointments(which I had done prior to wanting wls), letter from my pcp, pulmonary consultation, 2 sonograms and an endoscopy..I hadn't had my psych eval or clearance from my cardiologist so im not sure what they were looking for but im not going to question it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
