    what exactly were your prerequisites? I had my first appointment yesterday which was a nutrition and basic information class. I go back for my 2nd class the 31st and i see the PA on september 1st for my exam etc. My psych evaluation is scheduled for august 20th. the packet they gave everyone says we have to have an upper endoscopy, a sleep study, an ultrasound of the gall bladder blood work yada yada. I know my insurance covers the surgery but each case is different. I dont have any documented weight loss attempts besides a few months on phentermine. I have BCBSNC Im afraid i am going to spend all this money for all these appointments and then be denied by my health insurance. How long did it take you from your first appointment to get a surgery date and be approved? did you have to jump threw the same hoops?
