How long was your process for the Gastric Sleeve, and what were your requirements? Thanks!????

3 months seeing the dr and participating in the program, history of non surgical weight loss attempts. Letter from my PCP agreeing to see me afterwards and support me. Of course a list health issues.

So, is the Nutrionalist for presurgery diet too?

[southfloridasleever 10]

@ , i called my insurance on 3 different occasions to verify if i needed the 6 month NUT visits and all 3 times i was told no just a letter from my pcp stating my medical neccesity, so i went to the consultation today and they said they swore my insurance requires 6 month visit with NUT, so we decided to finish my other requirements and once those are done we can send the paperwork to see if it gets approved with just that one visit with the NUTRITIONIST, the other paperwork are full labs,3yr weight history, psych valuation, endoscopy, letter from primary dr,! and im so pissed cause the next appointment for the endoscopy is not till march 9th , im going to call tomorrow and let them know if they have any cancellation in between to call me in lol
