My primary care had to fill out a Weight Management form for each visit.. I was not told that I have a form for each MONTH... so even tho I was going approximately every 4 weeks, I had an appt in January, then on the first of March, and at the end of March..ect. So when I thought all was said and done - I was then told that the insurance requires a form for JAN then FEB then MARCH.. and I was putting 4 weeks in between each appointment. So, where I was thinking I would get my band in July, I decided to do 2 more appointments in July and 1 in August to show good faith.

My last appt was Aug 28th, and my primary faxed the last note the same day. My surgeons office filed all the paperwork to my insurance - and they APPROVED me on Sept 2. I had an appointment w/ the surgeons office the beginning of the following week where we set the appointment for the band, and met again with the nutritionist and 2 weeks later, on 9/22 I was banded!
