Good morning,

Just wondering if I have done things wrong in trying to get approved. I first saw my primary care doctor, she did an EKG, is writing my referral to the surgeon, I have an appointment with him 1/15/13, my insurance covers it, I have almost a year with Jenny Craig, I have three other documented issues other than the weight.

Any advise?

Thanks

That's a tough one to advise on. Every insurance plan is going to be different so it's impossible to know? And even every insurance plan within a insurance company will vary, so no way to tell. And taking it one step further, insurance plans for BCBS(for example) can vary from employer to employer depending on what that employer allows to be included within the plan. Go fish?

I can't really help you with the insurance issue as I was self paid, but maybe the doctor's office (lapband doc) you are working through has a specialist that can advise you? I know the one I go to does, but I didn't use her.

Thank you. I just want to sped up this process and get moving. I know I will have to do the nutritional council and meet have a mental Heath provider for clearance but other than that I should have all the other requirements met. Thanks to this website and all the information. When I met with my primary I had this huge folder from my insurance which is Cigna, read our coverage from our plan. She went over it. Just read horror stories on getting approved.

This is a great website and lots of good info. Thanks to every one that posts. Everyone of you give good sound advise. From what to expect to what to eat.

Here to a healthy happy 2013.

Welcome to the forum, and good luck with your insurance approval.
