thanks, I did go to what seems like a million appointments already and have been cleared by all of them for surgery. On Wednesday I meet with anesthesologist (sp?) and surgeon, have final blood work and a chest xray. I know when I talked to their insurance coordinator she said they submit after my final appt on Wednesday, but after talking to my primary she said in her experience they don't even let you walk in the door unless you have been approved. Just confused and worried about what is going to happen. I feel like this is my last hope to get my weight under control, I don't know what I will do if this doesn't go through.

HI I have a surgery date of 12/22 and my last preop clearance is this Wednesday. I am so scared I am going to be denied my bmi is 40 with no co morbidities. My primary doctor called me this week and said she doesn't know why I would need her clearance since I have already been cleared by cardiologisst and pulminolist. She said she wouldn't even see me unless she gets something in writing from surgeon. Then she says in her experience they don't even meet with you unless you have already been approved. Now I am so confused. I thought approval came after all preop tests. She seems to think otherwise. I had all my tests and sleepstudies paid for by insurance but nutritionist was not. Anyone know what is going on? I am getting banded in Delaware

I just had my sleep study and i did wear a bra. They do have to go up your shirt and plug in things on your neck and around your stomach. You have so many things plugged in and on your face and up your nose, the bra staying on really didn't matter.
