I am new to this site, and have found it to be very informative. I started this journey on August 8th with the seminar. I now have met with the Diet/Nut, Excercise Phys, Psych eval, MD eval, a Stress/Echo and had my Sleep study last night. I have a follow up on the 17th with excercise, and have to do a body comp, a follow up with the MD on the 20th and hopefully I will get a surgery date. Does anyone know if they set a surgery date and then send all info to the insurance company, or do they submit all info and wait for approval before setting a date? I am so anxious to have this done! Oh, and can you fail a sleep study? I don't think I did very well:( I tossed and turned all night!!

I was told by my insurance that they would only cover 50% of the surgery. I can not get a straight answer as to how much the procedure costs, and if I need my half all up front before the surgery. I am so frustrated!!!!! I have all my requirements met, with the exception of my stress/echo and sleep test. I do not want to go any further with this if I can not afford it!
