Just started my journey

I just had my first (5/27) of 6 nutritional appoints as required by my insurance. I am hoping for a December surgery, this is my speaking it into existence. I hope to get a quick approval! Any advise or sharing of your experience is welcome! I am excited!

I don't have any advice. I just wanted to say that we are on the same schedule. I just had my first of 6 appointments on May 23rd. Well actually it is the first of seven because it has to be 6 full months so the first visit doesn't actually count. I am also hoping for a December surgery.

Awesome & congrats! I'm switching places, the original place is out of network, I'm going to see a doctor in network. I found out from my insurance I dnt have to do the 6mths so starting over won't be so bad. The new place want me to do 3mths which is not bad. Still excited!

Blessings!

I had my first of 6 consults on May 25th. My last consultation is October 20th so I'm actually hoping for a November surgery date but December seems more realistic. The waiting is killing me!

Just make sure that october 20th is really your last visit. often it takes 7 visits because the first one doesn't count because it is the initial weigh in. Most insurance companies want 6 full months of supervised weight loss so the first visit doesn't count. My first visit was may 23rd and my last visit is nov 22

I will have to check into that thank you. They set all of my appointments right after they verified my insurance so I'm assuming they would have made a seventh appointment if I needed one but I definitely need to check.I have two small children so I'm getting all my ducks in a row to make sure I have plenty of help during and after surgery.

Hiiii! I'm hoping for a December date too! I just had my transnasal EGD yesterday and have completed my nutrition appointment along with 5 of my 6 required MD weightloss visits. My last MD visit is on the 29th! I'm waiting until December because I'm in grad school and that's between semesters for me. I hope I don't have any issues with approval!
