Congratulations DangerousD & yes I did the seminar on my birthday May 22nd 2013 I was still debating if I wanted to do another wls so after deciding I went for my consultation, dietitian seminar & met the dietitian for my evaluation 7/10 did my ugi 7/24 my blood work 7/30 got my pcp letter from my primary doctor in the morning & my psychological evaluation in the afternoon of 8/22 the reason why I was a month delayed is because my Dr who lapband the lady in the office wasn't getting my weight history for the past 6 months forms done **true procrastinator** until I spoke to someone else (the surgeon assistant) I git my forms filled & faxed to my new surgeon my surgical coordinator sent everything to my insurance monday but they needed a paper report of the ugi fax to them I only had the disc so I had to call them to fax it to my surgical coordinator everything was faxed a last time on 10/3 I was just waiting close to my phone just in case my insurance requested more information but they didn't I was gonna 10/10 to see if I got approved but I was off 10/8 & my nerves were eating me I couldn't sleep so I called the afternoon left a message received a call back 3:42pm saying I was approved & with a surgery date I will forever be grateful to my surgical coordinator because the 1st one I was assigned to never returned calls & went as far as going on vacation for a week & didn't return to none of my messages before she left then my second surgical coordinator she was on top of everything like nobody business & I was glad because im all the way in NJ & the office is in Ny so is the hospital
