Hey Everyone! I am super excited that as of yesterday, all my paperwork/med hx and all things required by my insurance (BCBS of TN) have been completed! I am using Dr. Woodman and dropped all my things off at the office yesterday!! They said that they will review it, and if it is all complete, they will submit it to insurance for approval. How long was the timeline for you guys (in my situation) from this point---to approval--to the actual date of surgery?? I am on break from school (in between classes for school) and have some time off coming up with work as well..........was hoping that the timing will work......... How long was it for you guys?

I have BCBS of TN....for the 6 month medically supervised diet.....does that mean 6 visits or actually 7 (with your PCP). I finished my 6th visit today and eager to submit my paperwork to the bariatric office so they can send it on to the insurance for approval...Any extra details on this would be awesome

Hey Yall.....I just joined this site....anyways, I am using Dr. Woodman in Memphis for Gastric Sleeve surgery. I was curious......I have BCBS of TN, and have to do the 6 month medically supervised diet (along with the other stuff mentioned in other posts). When you finished your 6 month diet how many (Physician Supevised Diet Record sheets-that woodmans office wants you to use at eac visit) did you have? 6 or 7 sheets?? My 1st appointment was 10-29-15 and today was my 6th visit......I asumed today was my last visit, but not sure about the technical aspect of what 6 months mean..........So to all you Woodman patients.....how many sheets did you have?
