  1. I feel so anxious I am calling the insurance company everyday checking the status.......anyone else feeling like that?
  2. @@Mia83 Have you been approved yet?
  3. The insurance coordinators are dropping the ball. My EGD is scheduled for next Friday the 24th, but they are telling me they can't submit it without approval. I know it's a bunch of BS, cause 2 of my co-workers got approved and neither of them had a EGD done.
  4. Has anyone been submitted to insurance and approved before having their EGD done?
  5. I completed my last supervised diet visit today. My file will be submitted to insurance today. I can't wait to hear the good news and have an official date.
  6. Albolene he helps shed pounds quickly
  7. I have my last nut appt on Monday, October 13th. My file will be submitted that day for approval. Hopefully the turn around time is quick. I meet with my surgeon on the 21st and have my EGD scheduled for the 24th. Hoping to have my approval in hand when I go yo see him on the 21st. I am ready to get the weight off.
  8. How long did it take Dr Reilly's office to get you scheduled once you were approved? I chose him as my doctor also through True Results.
  9. @@orlando Your big day is coming soon! How is the pre-opt diet coming along?
  10. Has received confirmed results, removing the 6 month supervised diet as a requirement? I am asking because I heard of other BSCS entities changing.
  11. My last appointment will be October 12 th. Hopefully, I have an approval shortly after that! I am planning for a November surgery. I am sick of being fat! The wait can't end soon enough! I have 3 more classes to go!
  12. I hear people saying they can get slider foods down just fine. What are they?
  13. Who is your insurance company? I would talk to whoever your advocate is and let them know you're already approved. You need to have the approval in writing for them to schedule your surgery.
  14. I am going thru true results Houston. They told me you have you have an insurance approval before scheduling the surgery. How many supervised visits do you have left ?
  15. I am tentatively scheduled for surgery November 2014. I have 4 more weight loss visits to complete. I am so excited and wait to loose this weight.
  16. How many did you have to do and what insurance do you have?
  17. I have BCBS of Iowa and was told I have to do 6 months of supervised weight-loss visits and 1 NUT visit? Anyone hear anything different?
  18. I have BCBS Iowa and my insurance only requires 1 supervised NUT visit. I initially went to True Results and they told me I had to do 6 visits but a private doctor told me I only had to do 1 visit. Is anyone else experiencing the same situation? I think I am going to go with the private doctor. I think True Results is trying to scam me. I looked into my billing summary and explanation of benefits and they billed for Breathing problems and sleep apnea. That is not what I went in for, It was suppose to be a supervised weight-loss visit. Is that strange or what?
  19. This month is my 2nd weightloss visit. I am trying not to think about how long, its going to take to complete the visits and get the final approval. All I can think about it getting it done and loosing the weight. I know it will go by fast buy I just hope the approval process is not to long since that will be close to the holidays when I am complete.
  20. I have BCBS of Iowa and have a BMI of 38.4 with two(2) cormobid conditions. I am going through True Results of Houston, and was told I have to meet insurance requirements of several tests and procedures to get the surgery approved. I was told I have to do 6 months of supervised weightloss visits. When I call BCBS, they are saying "No more than 6 months of Supervised " and it is based on the doctors choice. I had another doctor tell me 1-3 of supervised weight-loss visits. Any one experiencing the same thing?
