trying to get "switched" so I had to switch doctors

Feb 03, 2009

Hello All... well as I have said before I was approved for the RNY but soon after I learned about the duodenal switch. I was blessed in finding a doctor only an hour away from my house that performs this type of WLS. I had an appointment with him today and everything went very well. I had to meet with the dietitian first and soon after I got to meet Dr. Stevens. He was wonderful and so was his staff. He took his time to go over all my paperwork with me and answered all the questions that I had. I am so happy with having him as my NEW doctor. I am worried about how the new approval will go. The insurance coordinator said what they are going to attempt to do is call Aetna and see if they can just change the surgery code and facility instead of having to submit a whole new case. I am hoping that this will work. Hopefully, I will be hearing something is a few weeks. Pray for me ya'll!!!
