Kyn13 215 Posted August 7, 2016 I got my insurance approval Tuesday. But I have to lose weight before the dr will give me a date. 10 more to go. Been on liquid only for the last two days, hoping this helps speed up the process. This is the second time I've been through all this, the first time my insurance coverage dropped and I had to stop. I'm ready to just steam roll through this and be done. Pre op class monday. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
candiecane 3 Posted August 8, 2016 I'm waiting for mine approval I first had to get a letter from my primary dr saying that I need the surgery, then I have to see a nutritionest, and now I have to see sic evaluation and then I go back to see the surgeon. I hope they don't tell me I need to be on a supervise diet. My primary dr put in her letter that I need the surgery do to that I have life threatening health problems, and when I saw the nutritionest she said I should have it right away as well do to my sugar levels are close to the 300 and my BP is high even taking meds. Does anyone have this problem to. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
