Banner Gateway

Just wondering if anyone had their surgery at banner gateway in Gilbert AZ, if so who was your doctor and how was the hospital ? I went to the seminar and the initial consultation and was shocked to see that they billed my insurance over 450 just for the facility use (didn't count the doctor's fee).

Good News and Bad News
· azjanie · 09/05/2013 05:09
I had my Initial consultation yesterday. The staff was very nice and informative. I found out that even through my insurance policy is with Cigna, my employer does not require the 3 month diet for approval. That's the good news.
Now the bad news, I knew I would be close on the 40 BMI for automatic approval but thought that I would probably make it (I had thought about wearing leg weights but chickened out at the last minute), good thing since they made me take off my socks and jacket, I also had been suffering from a mild case of the stomach flu for a couple of days but didn't want to cancelled my appointment because it took so long to get one in the 1st place.
Needless to say my BMI was only 39. Now I have to have a sleep study to see it I have sleep apnea and can qualify that way.
I have read a lot of blogs sleeve candidates were required to get a sleep study but haven't read much about the results. Should I be worried or is it likely that I will be diagnosed with sleep apnea. I really don't won't to have to gain weight to qualify.
If I have sleep Apnea I could have my surgery in about 6 weeks, if not I will have to start saving money for Mexico.
