So the BRS program that I hadn't enrolled in was something from the insurance company and the first 5 people I talked to did not know about it! Now I find out the new surgeon taking my assigned surgeon's place (he did not renew his contract) is not going to be covered! UGH! And patient advocate is not getting back to me. I keep running into obstacles that I shouldn't be.

Oh no! Does any other surgeons there take your insurance? Would you have it done somewhere else? You wouldn't have to do everything over...what a predicament!

Amazing turnaround today insurance went ahead and approved me pending the new surgeon becoming affiliated with the centers for bariatric excellence. I have an approval code and can schedule my surgery but I have to give him time to get situated with that affiliation. I want an end of July early August date so I think two months is plenty of time!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!

Co granulation a!
