Hello ladies. First off let me say how happy I am to have found this app and to know that I am not alone. I am just beginning my path to a healthier me. I have at least 3 months before I get scheduled for my surgery due to insurance qualifications. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I haven't psych evaluation tomorrow. Wish me luck. I am looking for a few friends that will accompany me on my life changing experience. Have a blessed day. Hope to talk to some of you soon.

In my case it was the medical group that managed my hmo -

i couldn’t even schedule an appointment with the surgeon until i showed detailed documentation of 6mo of dr appts and nutritionist -

then and ONLY then could I apply for the ok to see the surgeon - get the referral - and schedule that - he was running out 6mo for an appointment

then I met with him and the ton of pre-surgery referrals started -

it’s been a trip... a very very very long trip

every single office operates differently - and ultimately they want to make sure they get paid - since my dr has been doing these for a VERY long time - theres solice in knowing he’s got both me and HIM covered.

My insurance was so unfair! I jad to do a 6 month supervised diet! Just make sure ur psych eval is good for that amount of time. I had that rite before my file was submitted to medicaid. And make sure ur doc test u for h-pylori before u submit to ur insurance cuz they will ask for that.

Thanks I will ask them about all that. So far tgey haven't ask me to do anything other than what my doc has already done
