Sorry to jump in, but while reading this I wanted to ask, so you have to do all the visits and consultations before you are approved by insurance? I've worked with insurances and you think I would know this, but I haven't had my first appointment yet. It is today, I just figured they started the approval process in the beginning.

I did, they said they have not receive anything from the doctor. But that was couple of days ago.

You have to do all the requirements than your surgeon will send it to your insurance for approval.

Depends on what insurance you have and which type of bariatric surgery you choose. I have friend where the only thing he had to do was lose some weight in 3 months, no other visits with specialist.
