mochamommy727 36 Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Hi! I'm a newbie from Lexington and submitted all of my paperwork to Dr. Weiss' office about two weeks ago. I hope their offices call next week for my initial appointment. I'm so anxious to get the ball rolling! Thankfully my insurance (Anthem BCBS) will cover 80% of the surgery so, if I'm approved, will only have to come out of pocket for a few thousand dollars. I'm just worried that I'll have to wait 6 or 7 months to find out if I can have the surgery. Did Dr. Weiss' office provide a lot of information when they first called you or did you have to wait until your first appointment to have all of your questions answered? {Sorry, I meant to directly reply to Audrey's post!} Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App Edited September 16, 2016 by mochamommy727 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
