Most of the preop stuff is very specific and needs to be ordered by your surgeon - or so I thought.

Every referral I've had was good for one year so if I delayed my surgery till Feb of 2014 I'd be fine

I was told by my surgeon i couldnt do thr eval till i finished the 6 month diet. But from what ive seen and heard every surgeon does things differently.

In my case it was the medical group that managed my hmo -

i couldn’t even schedule an appointment with the surgeon until i showed detailed documentation of 6mo of dr appts and nutritionist -

then and ONLY then could I apply for the ok to see the surgeon - get the referral - and schedule that - he was running out 6mo for an appointment

then I met with him and the ton of pre-surgery referrals started -

it’s been a trip... a very very very long trip

every single office operates differently - and ultimately they want to make sure they get paid - since my dr has been doing these for a VERY long time - theres solice in knowing he’s got both me and HIM covered.

My insurance was so unfair! I jad to do a 6 month supervised diet! Just make sure ur psych eval is good for that amount of time. I had that rite before my file was submitted to medicaid. And make sure ur doc test u for h-pylori before u submit to ur insurance cuz they will ask for that.

Thanks I will ask them about all that. So far tgey haven't ask me to do anything other than what my doc has already done
