Hi everyone. I've been around for some time, but lurked mostly. I just received notice today that I'm being submitted to insurance today. I'm having my surgery at Magee with Dr. Hamad. So far, my experience with her has been really great. I had a bit of an issue with my endo and had to change procedure from an RNY to the sleeve. At first I was concerned because I wasn't sure about the procedure, but the more I research, the happier I am that I'm making the change. I'm not really certainly how quickly my authorization will be approved. I wish working for UPMC would get me a quicker answer, but it likely doesn't! Hoping to schedule yet this month or early next month.
