Learning So Much

Apr 16, 2011

So I haven't been on the forums for very long and I only began thinking about weight loss surgery as an option for myself in the last 3 weeks but i am learning so much so fast. Already I have found what my insurance (Badger Care) requires for approval. And happily I SHOULD be able to meet those requirements. My family doc is on board with idea since she was the one who suggested wls  in the first place. There is a surgeon that does the procedure I am leaning towards (DS) just across the street from my home. I have also learned that I will have a combination of 6 months to do of supervised activity and nutrition before the insurance will approve the surgery. I have a list of documentation needed for the insurance company and I am fairly certain I can get all of my medical records from my previous doctors in the meantime. I know what forms to ask for and what codes to check on. I know what questions to ask. And yes I plan to print everything out and take it all with me when I go see my doc again at the end of the month. I'd like to show her I am ready for this mentally as well as medically. At least I hope I am.
