I haven't talk to duke today...Im hoping things went as they had expected... That would be great for everyone : )

What do you need done to finish them ?

I have a visit with the gastroenterologist on July 22nd and visits for the psych eval and nutritionist on August 12. So hopefully mid to late August I'll have them wrapped up and will be ready to submit to insurance.

I'm quite surprised that BCBS NC dropped the requirement for a 6 months supervised diet. I emailed my case manager to see what exactly will happen next and how this affects my pre op.

Really it was a waste of people's time and money cause if you really need the surgery why make you WAIT for six-month ? To learn what you need for surgery ....you can do that in one month im talking the main requirements from our Dr they did right ..that was really not needed

I'm glad they changed it, it should make my approval a ton easier. My BMI is a 40.7, which should guarantee surgery regardless, but, my sleep study found moderate sleep apnea, I'm on blood pressure medication, have high cholesterol, and elevated a1c.

If only medicare would drop the 6 month wait, but I am almost half way there. Got my test done, nutrition done, and next week the shrink. Hurry November!
