ForMyfamily 84 Posted May 21, 2012 Well I have been jumping threw hoops left and right but am almost there. Had to get recorded weigh ins for at least 2 years - done. Then had to backtrack and get a letter for recommendation for surgery - Done. And since my o2 stats were low the first day had to go and get a clearance letter for the anesthesiologist after seeing a pulmonologist - Done. Which that part is due a heart condition that I have had for years. So now we come to another clearance letter from the cardiologist after a heart cathe - Done! So finally, see the nut in two days and may have to do a GI test and that's it. About the only part I lucked out with was only a 3 month wait instead of 6 but really to get all tests accomplished the time went fast. Now for insurance that was another feat that was to be accomplished. They refused to pay full amount unless I used their doctor which had very bad marks from others. Not wanting to fail went with my current one and insurance said they would only pay 50%. But my current Doctor arranged with the hospital to pay the remainder. Now you see why I wanted to use this one as they care more about the patient then their pockets. 1 Sleeved&Hopeful reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
