:001_tongue:I just had my 6 month visit with the Dr for my supervised diet plan.

Got my pulmonary clearance, referral to the Bariatric surgeon (this was just an insurance requirement, he knew my intentions from the first visit),

letter of medical necessity, and 7 months of notes faxed to the Bariatric Surgeons office.

Now I wait to see how long it will take them to submit or if they need any other information.

The 6 months diet hasn't been too bad. The time actually flew by. Only lost 7 pounds but at least it was a loss.

So now I wait........

So, on my way home from work the office called to let me know they would be submitting tomorrow. Yeah. I'm so nervous that they'll deny it. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Good Luck tdov1

Best wishes and GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

Good luck! It sounds like they really make you jump through hoops! Let us know what happened. I would check with the insurance company a week after the papers are submitted. That's how long it took BCBS to approve mine.

Thanks everyone.

I'm glad they made me jump throught the hoops though. When I started, Cigna didn't cover the sleeve,now they do. It's only going to cost me out of pocket about 10% of what it would have to go to Mexico. So the money I've saved I plan on putting towards my plastics.

Again, Thanks everyone on this board for the information.
