I got approved by my insurance Tricare Prime, found the doctor who runs a weight loss clinic but is not the surgeon, he coordinated all of the other doctors including the surgeon. Only to find out that the surgeon will not take my insurance wanted me to pay 3,200.00 like if I had no insurance to begin with. I have gone through all the necessary tests and have gotten all of the doctors approvals for surgery but no surgeon. Totally frustrated right now, so the doctor who runs the clinic found me another surgeon but now they want for me to attend another seminar, which I have already done. All I want is to have my surgery already!!!! I have done everything that was asked of me... why cant they just place the darn thing in me already!!!!:thumbup::tt2:
