Autumn Riley Arnold 92 Posted August 9, 2016 I saw the psychiatrist (which I was really worried about getting denied from) and she she said she'd OK the surgery!! This is really happening and I'm just bursting with happiness! Do you know if there's still a chance that I could be denied for anything? All I have left is the EKG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

achappex3 346 Posted August 9, 2016 I just had the same meeting on the 3rd! Was told that he'd be submitting it that day! How much longer do you have? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Autumn Riley Arnold 92 Posted August 9, 2016 Hopefully not too much longer. I just have the EKG to do which is scheduled for the 17th of this month. I'm just worried I won't get approved by Medicare. Do you think they will deny me even though my doctor, the psychiatrist and the nutritionist gave the go-ahead? I mean, that doesn't seem likely, does it?

mimi_rnyjourney 13 Posted August 10, 2016 I've heard that it's easiest to get approved with Medicare. Not sure for sure but that's what I've heard from another surgeon. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
