Why is your wait so long? Have you called the insurance company to see if they have all of the information that they need? Some where on here I read that the surgens office can cause delays by not sending in all of the required information. Good luck and remember you can always call and see where your referal is at with the insurance.

I called to ask what the hold up was or if they needed anything from me. I was told my office never put the billing code or attached some of the clinical documents. So I had to call the office who told me the insurance company lost them, as if this journey isnt hard enough. So for now I guess I keep waiting.

      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.
