what a process!
Went to the meeting with DR wasco at the theyda clark medical center, on Tueday for three hours. there are many hoops that a person has to go through. such as seeing a Mental health provider. six mounths of recorded weight loss by you own Doctor or dietitian .proof of recorded weight loss failure. then come's fighting with your insurence company who hate there jobs, who are just there to get a pay check! You call your insurence with the proceddure code and they tell you that your Doctor office has to call but when you are starting this Quest to save your life you don't have a doctor yet! there should be more helpful, My insurence company pay's for every thing else except adjustable lap band. Im going to fight them on this through the insurence commission of Wi. well every one take care most of all God bless you all. and chew your food good.
