So...this is all so real now!

I went to my first office visit last Wednesday and knocked out my lab work, barium swallow, psych evaluation, and nutritionist meeting all by today. Technically this is all I have to do for the office to submit my files to my insurance but NOOOOO..... they are holding my files until I go to 6 sessions over a 3 month pd with a therapist on my campus. I was so close I could taste it and now I'm worried that this might throw everything off.

I'm an out of town patient to my surgeon and as a student I have a pretty small window of time (winter break) that I can get this done or else I'll have to wait till summer break, 6 months later!!! I really want to succeed which is why I am so compliant but... I don't want them to wait until i finish my sessions (November) and then cant provide me with a date within my literal 3 day window.

Has anyone esle heard of this requirment or went through something else besides the insurance requirments that postponed the issuing of thier date?

Even if I was self pay with no insurance my Dr. requires a 3 month program of nutrition appts etc to help prepare you for the surgery.
