So I had my appointment with the Surgeon, and the first thing she tells me is that my insurance is changing their policies effective 4/15/18 to requiring 6 months supervised dietician visits. Because I am completely done with everything needed, she felt terrible. I’m rushing to get my pcp to send a letter stating I’m healthy for surgery in hopes that we can get the approval before the deadline, but I’m ready to cry. Getting to the end and having them tell me I might have to wait until August is heartbreaking.

PRAYING that my paperwork is submitted tomorrow with no issues and is approved before they implement this policy.

Going to go cry in my car while I wait for my PCP to call back.....

Congrats!! I know you're relieved and must be so excited!!

Thanks! I am so relieved. Now I just have to survive the next month of waiting LOL

It'll go quickly!

Great your approval came through before things changed. When May 7th comes, don't worry about anything. Just go in with a peaceful state of mind and know that things are going to be fine[emoji2]

Wow, I am very sorry to hear this! They should grandfather you in under the old policy because you've met the requirements. This might even become a legal matter if they deny you. You could sue them.
