Went to a seminar at mynewself Bariatrics on March 7th!

Insurance Verifier called on March 11th... no insurance coverage which I already knew! Self pay it is

Called to schedule my appointments since I had not heard from anyone... April 10th for Doctor Consult, Dietician, and Psychologist!

Not sure what happens after those appointments but very excited!

My husband and I decided to do this together after I had gone with him to the seminar as his support system. We have done everything together, our appointments, our meetings...everything. The appointments aren't bad at all, the psychologist was interesting but we got through it all in one day and thank goodness that it's done with. I'm not sure what yours will be like since you're in a different state, but as soon as you start getting these appointments behind you, its a relief.

Have they told you if you needed a sleep test? That's something you might want to check on. Our insurance is Anthem Blue Cross and my husband NEEDS to have a sleep test in order to have his surgery. I do not.

Do you have to have any weight management classes?

I have already been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and wear a CPAP machine so I am not sure they will ask for a sleep study again. Since I am self pay, my timeframe should be shortened, but not always, since I do not have to adhere to any insurance requirements.
