I have not been at this process long. I started on June 17th and have been through a barrage of tests, gotten letters from my PCP, cardiologist and shrink, and generally got stamped OK by my surgeon today. She put the paperwork into my insurance company today. I am in Houston, Texas. According to my insurance company a six month period with the nutritionist is not required. My PCP wrote a letter stating that I tried many diets with him. Humana told me that this is all that I need. I don't know how long I will have to wait for them to review and approve or deny. I don't have much faith in insurance companies although so far mine has been very helpful. They actually have a private number for bariatrics and assign a person to you! I will let everyone know how long this takes and what the end result is.

My request for surgery was sent to my insurance company today. I'm so nervous they're going to reject it. I don't know why I'm nervous because everything is in order, but I still have this impending feeling of doom. I really want the surgery so badly. I'm planning a cruise in October and I am hoping that my timing is good. I have Humana insurance and I was wondering if anyone else had experiences with them. I have Humana POS. it's a Medicare advantage program. I am in this all alone. I need the support of people like me who are going through the surgery. For now, I wait
