I just finished my 6 month supervised nutritional visits first 3 with the bariatric hospital and the last 3 with my pcp. I just finished up with everything sept 19th. So, I called my Bariatric Dr.'s office and informed them that I had finished and all my paper work with lab results, nutritional visits, and GI results were all faxed in. They confirmed that everything was received.

BUT then I asked what happends now they said they want to see me for my final follow up consultation with the surgeon... my question is what does this mean has anyone else had to do this I am sure they have not submitted to my insurance yet...

Also, I have gained 9pds I am not sure if it's muscle or since I weight train most of the time.

Mine was more for the surgeon to ask if I had any questions and to have his staff make sure the scheduling was set and for me to pay my portion of what would be due. They also gave me my surgical forms etc. Pretty routine. I am surprised though that they haven't told you yet if your surgery was approved. I didn't see my surgeon until after we had approval and were ready to schedule surgery.

I feel like I should call them and ask questions before I go down there. My surgeon is in a another state, so I would hate to take that drive for questions I can ask over the phone... I don't know what I should do.

I saw my dr week before my surgery. It was final visit before. Any questions or anything like that and what to expect -

So we're you already approved when you went in for your final visit?
