3 More Months...at Least :(

Back story: In January I started seeing a surgeon about getting VSG. They ran my insurance and said that I needed 4 dietitian appointments over 6 months, a sleep study and a psych eval. At the end of June my insurance dropped everyone from their plan, and my hospital doesn't accept self-pay patients so at the end of all that stuff, I had to stop. I got a new job with really good insurance, and while I was waiting for it to kick in, I made an appointment with another surgeon, Dr. Hoehn and KC bariatrics. (My first doctor is considered out of network to Aetna, so I can't just stick with the first doctor)I saw him for the first time today, and I was hoping all of my stuff would transfer over from the other doctor and I could expedite this whole process. Unfortunately, since its been more than 3 months since my last nutrition appointment, I have to start all over again with the dietitian! This insurance only requires 3 months, but still. I'm so frustrated!

Three months will fly by and will be here before you know it!!!

i just finished my very last NUT class today. I have Aetna as well. Now I get to wait for an approval!

Good luck!

I can imagine how frustrating that is, but the end of the 3 months will be here before you know it and you'll be having your surgery. Good luck on your journey!

I'm trying to keep it from stressing me out. I know this time next year, my skinny self won't even remember that I had to wait. I was hoping to have a 2012 date though! I hate odd numbers
