wlh75 19 Posted July 22, 2021 Got a call from my INS yesterday & was told I have more hoops to jump through before surgery can happen. Very frustrated and hoping I can get this all finished up today, to schedule my surgery Soon. Got an appointment with my PCP to see if I have past visits that will work...Sent from my LM-Q730 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jettyC 4 Posted July 23, 2021 What hoops are they asking you to jump through? I'm going through the long stretch with insurance and won't have surgery until December still. I started this back in April. I don't want to go all this way just to have insurance tell me I need to do more.Sent from my LG-G710 using BariatricPal mobile app 1 wlh75 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr office said same but it has to also be a total of 6 months not 3 months. So I did my blood work & talked with my Primary Care about 5 past visits where we discussed my weight & what I needed to do; they are submitting that info & my blood work. Fingers crossed & with God on my side, I pray I have an update next week...

Ladidi 11 Posted July 27, 2021 I finally scheduled my initial visit with the nurse practitioner. Had to have UGI and submit revision paperwork from my lap band I had years ago. This was all done and turned in May 3,2021. So I am at the very start of my journey. Trying very hard to be patient. 1 wlh75 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
