Hey there September sleevers! Any one out there?
all I had to pay is 250 out of pocket as well, I actually never even heard of endoscopy until I joined this, then I asked would I need one and they said no and also said no I don't need to do a two week liquid diet before surgery

Hey there September sleevers! Any one out there?
my psych appt was only 20-25 min long, what could they possibly talk to u for 3 hrs about, that's long, u only have 4 months of nutritional visit lucky you, I have 6 & don't have to do a sleep apnea test or that endo test, I think it's called endoscopy I know!! I don't know what we're going to be talking about for 3 hours but I'll let keep ya posted. Yeah, my insurance requires 4 supervised PCP appts. Well, my bmi is 38.3 and I have a comorbidity of osteoarthritis of my knee and my surgeon feels that will be enough to get me approved through my insurance but wants to check me for sleep apnea since from the way I answered some questions regarding it, it may be a possibility that I have it. He said if I did, it would definitely get approved! How disturbing is it, that I hope I do? I guess, it would be better to have that, though, then something worse,,, which is the direction I'm heading in with prediabetes and borderline htn... I actually don't think it's disturbing that you hope you got sleep apnea, I hope u have it too lol just so you can definitely get approved, best wishes and keep us posted

Thank u so much and best of luck to u, I so hope u get to do ur psychological eval tommorow, mine only took 20 min, I waited In the lobby Longer then my appt actually took

-
Hey there September sleevers! Any one out there?
did you put the request in with your insurance yet, and did you have to loose every month of those 6 month's me too ????
-
Hey there September sleevers! Any one out there?
it's going really seem real once I submit to the insurance company, but I'm so not ready for the waiting game with my insurance company, I hope I get a fast approval
-
Hey there September sleevers! Any one out there?

-
Hey there September sleevers! Any one out there?
Thank you and very good news, im so anxious and excited
-
Hey there September sleevers! Any one out there?
Let me correct myself, he said depending on how fast my insurance approves, it could be end of August or in September
-
Hey there September sleevers! Any one out there?
With my insurance I had to have a 6 month supervised diet, and continusly loose, my last visit is the first Friday in August, I think the 8th or 9th then I can submit to my insurance, then it takes 2-4 weeks for insurance to approve, the surgeon said to me on Friday, my surgery will be in September
