BethFromVA 5 Posted October 21, 2008 Was in Hawaii this past week and my doctor's office called me (approximately 1 week post initial visit). Seems I am one of the fortunate ones with insurance that only requires a psych eval before approving the procedure! Granted, I will have the other poking and prodding tests, but I don't have to do a dog and pony show to get this thing rolling! I could potentially be a November bandster! At the worst, it should be December. Omg!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tracie30 0 Posted October 21, 2008 That's great! I was one of the lucky ones too. I had my first consultation on July 29 and had surgery on October 16th. No PCP diet, just blood work and pysc. eval. Good luck on your journey!! BTW...I am very jealous that you got the news in Hawaii...lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmeraldCoastPhotog 0 Posted October 21, 2008 Good for you guys! I was one of the lucky ones as well except I didn't realize it until I finished the six month diet. Too bad for me.... I should have checked on that myself but .. personally, I would have thought the insurance people in the office would have done some pre-authorization. Oh well. Bitter party of one. Thankfully, surgery is finally scheduled for Dec 10. Best of luck to you all. Fran Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
