Columbia Presbyterian Experience?

Hey everyone.

I'm still waiting on insurance approval for my sleeve but hoping I'll get it soon and be scheduled for early next year.

I was wondering if anyone had the sleeve done at Columbia Presbyterian/New York Presbyterian in NYC? This is where I'm having mine done.

So far the surgeons and the nurses seem great.

My biggest frustration has been on the administrative side of things with this hospital. Between people messing up appointments, scheduling issues and submitting incorrect information to insurance I want to pull my hair out.

I'm wondering if its just me and if other people have had similar experiences?

Have you been approved yet? I'm getting the sleeve done in the same hospital and just received approval today!! So ecstatic!! :D

As far as the administrative problems, thankfully I haven't had any with them so far.. Hopefully I won't going forward either..
