I was wondering what I can do now to move the Insurance process along?

I am attending the seminar next Wednesday.

I am going to my PCP next Thursday to get a referral, cholesterol tested, blood pressure, etc..

I have writen a letter for the insurance company about all my attempts ("supervised and un-supervised") to lose weight.

I am 5'7" and weigh 264 pounds, I only have two co-morbidities, lower back pain, and pain in my feet.

Is there anything else that I can do now to move along the Insurance process? I have Harvard Pilgrim Health Care POS.

-Abbie (Hopefull)

l'm sure the Insurance Comp is going to be really direct with what they exopect from you, as well as the doctor..Insurance companies move at a snails pace, when they want to..l think they think we will be discouraged and go away...l would call your carrier and see exactly what you need to jump through all their hoops...Then get all your ducks in a row, play their game and hope they are nice....Good Luck....

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
