Pre-op, pre-insurance submission

[numeby2017 88]

Dr. Has me doing the 90 restricted phase instead of 6 months. Just had my 2nd visit with NUT today (1st follow up since initial consult) and I am excited that I lost 15 lbs on my own so far. They have me goal of 30 lbs so knowing I am 1/2 way there and still have 1 more NUT visit before they submit to insurance gives me hope that I'll meet the 30 lb goal. Just wanted to share, anyone else out there in the 90 day restricted phase?? I have had gallbladder ultrasound, labs, chest xray, I have a sleep apnea test next week. Any thing else I should expect after my sleep study and final NUT visit before they will start the insurance submission step?

Hi @numeby2017. How are you? How's your approval process going?

Still trying to figure out what's causing liquid in my abdomen, I waited 4 weeks for an appointment with specialist only to be sent for more tests cuz he didn't know either, so frustrating and afraid it's going to ruin my 90 day plan. I get a CT scan tomorrow, we will see how it goes from there because I can't get cleared medically until they figure out the Fluid in my abdomen

How did the CT scan go?

Ok, now just waiting for Dr. to receive and review and contact me, hopefully this week. I also had my last nutrition visit Friday, she cleared me so I'm cleared for everything but this liquid in my abdomen so praying it's something simple so I can move forward

Does anyone know if insurance will require me to do the 90 day supervised plan again if I have gotten clearance from the nutritional, psych, just waiting on medical clearance due to abdominal Fluid and the specialists are taking FOREVER to review my ct scans and stuff to determine the cause and see if I'm safe to proceed. Frustrating if their busy schedule will derail me and make me redo the 90 day plan all over again.
