NEW YORK SLEEVERS CAN YOU HELP ME?

Any info on your process with insurance is great I have emblem health so went with that but if you are in NY and have insurance please list your requirements and process since the day you first started.

Hi,

I'm new here and I have read a few boards and I see everyone is beyond helpful in some way. I'm 25 years old and live in Westchester, NY. I went for my seminar December 10, 2014

And have my first appointment with the surgeon January 23☺️was wondering for those in NY with emblem health how long after your first appointment did you get a date? What are the pre surgical requirements that need to be completed beforehand? Thanks so much!!

    Just got approved today from fidelis. Waiting for surgery date. The prior Auth lady said my surgery was scheduled for Feburary 16th. I will have to do the pre op diet for 2weeks. It really has moved fast since the last NUT visit.

    Saw him for an initial consult dec. 18 surgery will be feb 23rd so almost two months from start to finish. But I rush through all my pre-op consults it really just depends on how fast you can get those appointments done.
