Thank you so much and your right I was wondering why they didn't call me.I did not even know that submitted my paperwork.They told me they wanted me to get another sleep apnea test because my last one was 2006 and they thought insurance would deny me because it was too old.I cried right there in the office because I did want to wait.I called insurance today and she told me that I would have toe surgery on the date that the surgeons office put down or I have to start the process all over again of submitting the paper work.I do not know how that is possible.I did not get a call from the surgeons office and the date on thelet is 11-24-2014 I would still need to do a pr-op liquid diet.It would not be enough time.

I do not know when because I did not read my mail until 10:00 Friday night.I will call the surgeons office on Monday.I am so happy for you.Please keep me posted on everything.

I will I'll be dancing all the way to the surgery!

I am so happy for you.When do you start your pre op diet?

Thank you all so much.

Hi everyone I had my first appointment with the surgeons office August 5,2014.He wanted to know why I did not come in sooner.He said I was a poster child.I am 214,bmI 38 with sleep apnea,high blood pressure,asthma,and newly discovered diabetes type 2.I have my psych eval Sept.10th.I already had my 1st nutrition appointment on the 5th at the surgeons office.My insurance wants 3 months with the nutritionist.They also want,psych,endocronologist,sleep study which I already have done because I have a cpap I've had sleep apnea for a while,and blood work needs to be done.I also need my medical recorde to show that I am not newly fat.The medical necessity letter from my primary might be hard.The reason because I changed primaries from the one I have been going to for a long time because of an issue that happened,The new one I have now I have been only going for a little while.I know I can get my medical records from my old doctor to show that I have been obese with co-morbidities for a long time.But I am worried about the letter.The Doctors office that I use to go to said that my old primary would not sign anything unless he sees me.That means I would have to switch back.Don't know what to do.I don't think my new primary would do a letter because I have not been going to him for long.He does not know my history.My surgeon is in my network.I have aarp medicare united healthcare.I am so worried that I am not going to be approved.
