Susan66 128 Posted July 29, 2015 Hello Everyone, I'm very happy to have found this forum & look forward to reading & learning from everyone's own experience. I am Susan from Upstate NY. I have just earlier this month started my journey. I have Health Republic of NY insurance and they require 6 months of nutritional education before considering approval for Bariatric Surgery. That takes me into December before my Dr. can submit me for approval. Kind of disappointed, was hoping I wouldn't have to wait so long. Does anybody else have Health Republic of NY insurance? Was wondering how long it took for others with this insurance to get their answer after they were submitted by their Dr. ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
