mamamarie 0 Posted March 20, 2008 Hello Everyone! I have my 1st consult next week with Dr. Garth Davis. I am 35 years old with a BMI of 43, I have Blue Shield of California and my insurance does cover Bariatric surgery (if approved). I am nervous and excited but would like suggestions on what type of questions I should be asking during my consult? Thank You! Marie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snowbird 2 Posted March 20, 2008 You might also ask about fills. Do you know if they are covered by your insurance? If not, how much does he charge for them? Does he do them with fluoroscopy? How does he schedule them--on a set schedule, or as needed? How much lead time from making the fill appointment to the scheduled date? How aggressively does he do fills? Does he charge for unfills or adjustments within a short time after a fill (to correct an unsuccessful fill level)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
