Congrats Ladies on your surgery dates, I can't wait for my letter to arrive:)

Welcome to LBT

My insurance(Aetna) doesn't require a referral, but my pcp didn't approve of the surgery. So I'm using the doctor located at the hospital, and she is helping me with this process. Just go to an information seminar, they are very helpful. These are the best surgeon's in this field, you will be in good hands. Just make sure you know what your insurance requires from you Ok. Please keep me posted, I will help in any way that I can:)

This was very helpful info, thanx ladies:)

I live in Harlem and I'm working with NYU weight management center, they are the best in the city. Al Roker had his surgery done there, I believe the website is called thinforlife.com. Good Luck and keep in touch:)

Wow thank you for sharing that story, the best of luck to you:)

I feel the same way Feb 7th is my last piece to the insurance puzzle. I can't wait to begin my new life, please keep me posted:)

Congrats:)

Way to go girl:)

You can do it girl, it will pay off in the end. Just be strong Good Luck:)

I agree with Spartan 100% . Look at the pros and cons with your surgeon. Don't let other people make this choice for you, Good Luck sweetie;)

I agree slow and steady wins the race, each pound is a milstone:)

Congrats to you sweetheart, you are beautiful now. The surgery will make you FIERCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep me posted.

I had the same issue for a brief second, I think you should go over the pros and cons with your surgeon. Everyone is different, we all have to keep that in mind:)Good Luck

Congrats to you both, I can't wait to hear those magic words. I hope that you guys keep us posted on your weight loss journey;0

Don't be overwhelmed, it's important that you work with your Dr's office. First step is find out what your insurances requires. Then you want to work with the Dr in order to complete the required Pre-op tests, psyh evaluation and work with a nutritionist. Also you have to attend a seminar about weight loss surgery. Best of luck to you keep me posted:)

Congrats to the both of you:)
