My insurance has a 6 month waiting period before surgery where I have to meet with a nutrionist, a mental health screen and work on and exercise plan. I wanted to know when does that 6 month period start. Is it when the doctor refers you, or after 6 sessions with a nutrionist? I just forgot to ask and I am trying to figure it out. Thanks

I am wondering the same thing also! I have the six rows filled out' date=' an appointment in every month since feb, and am wondering if I have to wait another month. I had my sixth appointment today, and am hoping I don't really have to wait until September for approval. With school about to start again, the sooner this is started/done the better.[/quote']

Call your insurance company to find out.

Woohoo! No 7th appointment needed!

Oh no! I was hoping that I was going to be able to somehow squeeze this in before Dec 31st! My first appt was 7/9...I don't think it's possible. :-(

They gave me a form to fill out that has only six rows to fill in.

Hi ....

Form from Doctor or Health insurance ?

I had a 6 month wait but by time my 6 months of appointments where up, it was at least another month before my surgery was scheduled. There were no open surgery slots. Apparently this is a very popular procedure . I hope things move quickly for you. I think this waiting is the worst part,,uuhhggg
