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?

Once I submitted my paperwork they called within 2 weeks. I also have anthem and I was required to do a 6 month physician supervised diet. I just finished and submitted to Dr Weiss' ofc, and I received my pre auth for surgery within a week. I'm now waiting for them to call for my appt with Dr Weiss and discuss surgery date. I started the process in April. It's a long process but it's gonna be so worth it!

Waiting for surgery date...
