I am trying to get all my stuff together so that I can have my surgery approved by insurance. I have scheduled appointments with all my doctors for this week so that I can talk to them about my plans and have them write letters to my prospective surgeon and send them my health records. I am seeing my PCP on Wednesday, my endocrinologist on Thursday, and the nurse practitioner that oversaw my weight-loss program on Friday. I am hoping they will all cooperate with me and help me get into surgery.

Good plan! When I was trying to get approved I made sure to get more than what was required by insurance. I didn't want to be denied! Good luck on your apporval and all of your appointments!
