Hello, I am new and have only just been referred to Dr. Koura in Sacramento. I understand there will be alot for me to do before insurance will approve or deny my request. I am just wondering if anyone knows if its true that Pacificare requires 6 months with a nutrionist prior to surgery approval? I cant imagine having to wait 6 more months. I am ready for this surgery yesterday... I know I should be patient, I am just ready to feel better. thanks

Hey cups! Why didn’t I see this sooner?

I am also a band patient of Dr. Koura in Sacramento. He’s a really good surgeon, the best in our area in fact.

If you have any questions I’ll be happy to help you. You can send me messages if you need anything.

One thing though we do not share the same insurance, so I am no help in that area. Best wishes!!

Thank you! I have only just begun and did discover that i have 6 months waiting period in which i have to take like 15 classes plus info seminar, psyche evalution, tests, etc... I go to the seminar at Dr Koura's office on Nov 7th... Im glad to hear you like him, i havent been able to get any information on him so far.

I’m glad to help! If you need anything let me know. Maybe I might pop into one of the support group meetings one day and we can chat! Hang in there, the road is long but the destination is worth the ride. J
