Awwwwwww thank you. March 2...trust me I can't wait...me and my boyfriend started the same time he has Blue Cross he started in Oct had his surgery Dec 22...he lost 37lbs...I'm jealous...stoptheobesity.com In Rosyln long island...his insurance approved him in 1 day. Don't be nervous you will be filling out papers, getting weigh in..Who is your surgeon?

That's the practice I'm using. Dr. Garber is my surgeon. Everything else is in I'm just going to the office tomorrow to see the pulmonologist and do the endoscopy. My first consult was dec. 18. I'm hoping to see the surgeon again as my second consult and then be submitted to insurance and pick a date in early feb!

The Empire Plan NYSHIP it's for NY state employees. Doctors are billed through United and hospitals BCBS

I have no surgery requirements just my surgeons which is cardiologist, nutritionist, psych evaluation, sleep study, endocrinologist, pulmonary testing, endoscopy, and gallbladder ultrasound to check for gallstones

I know I am. I had my initial consult dec. 18. Tomorrow I do pulmonary and endoscopy at the surgeons office and then they submit to my insurance.

Excellent question they have a few different options im not sure yet. I think it will really depend on where I can get the earliest date. I refuse to do a surgery center, if something goes wrong I worry about not being in a hospital which has a lot more resources. But that's just my opinion.

I agree, the doctors in the city are the best in the world, people travel here from all over the world i think you can find a doctor that is confident the surgery can be performed even with your past medical history.
