Hello everyone... I have HIP PRIME *** in NYC. Is there anyone else in NYC with HIP or HIP Prime? If so, can you help me with some info? I'm waiting for my surgeon to submit the request. How long did it take you? What exam are needed once you're approved? I.E sleep apnea, stress test? Any info will help... My surgeon is Mitchell Roslin @ Lenox Hill Hospital.

I have HIP Prime and have no date yet. I did my first consult, but was told to start doing the preliminaries before hand. I have to see a cardiologist, a pulmonary doctor, psych, get an abdomen screening, letter of medical necessity from PCP along with 3-5 years of past physicals, GYN for pregnancy prevention, radiologist, and an endoscopy
