So I have all my appointments set! What Next?

I went to the seminar November 13th

I met the surgeon November 17th

Got my blood work done November 17th

UGI and Psychological November 28th

1 class on December 5th

1 class December 8th and Nutrition December 8th

finale class December 13th

and I'm waiting to schedule EGD....

This is all my insurance required so I'm guessing after this my doctor can submit everything for approval? What was your requirements? how long was your process?

BTW I have NJ BCBS PPO , My Surgeon is Dr. Jooyeun Chung. I'm just trying to time this out so I can have the surgery in January....

I had to do 6 months of dr/nutritional visits, psych evaluation, upper Gi. Got insurance approval 7 days after submittion. Tentative surgery date 12/13

My surgery date is Dec. 19th, it took about 7 mths of appointments and such to get all my requirements for insurance approval.

I went to my first appointment September 28. I've done my labs, chest X-ray, NUT/psychological apt, and I've done my sleep apnea test. My last appointment is December 30th and have received a tentative surgery date of Jan 6. My insurance requirement is 3 months with a supervised exercise program
