Thinner me 1 Posted January 24, 2008 mrodr41~ Hi!! I wish I could answer that question for you. I really don't think it takes long at all though. Keep us updated, I'm about to submit to insurance and will be waiting for a date too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hippiegirl 0 Posted January 24, 2008 Last night I started my 12 week nutrition program. (I think I talked Katies ear off I asked so many questions) She said once you have everything submitted it can take up to 2 months from that date to surgery date. So I have 3 months of diet monitoring and then up to two months of waiting for surgery....It could be June for me...I want it now!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrodr41 0 Posted January 27, 2008 I just got my approval letter in the mail from my insurance company. I am so excited I talked to Yolanda at Barix and she said they are backed up and it may not be until the end of Feb. or beginning of March before I can get in for my next appt. before scheduling me for the procedure. I am excited that I finally got the acceptance from my insurance company it feels like it is going to take forever:cool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ellisa 6 Posted January 28, 2008 My husband went to Barix in Groveport two years ago. They were awesome. Not in network, so high out of pocket ($5000). He had Dr. Vig, who is no longer there. But hubby continues to go there for fills, I think he saw Dr. Ramos the last time. He's lost 140 lbs and is still losing. The staff there were great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
