hi,
this is a long way out from your request, but I'd love to correspond with you. I'm 5 months plus a week out. I live near Fairbanks, Alaska.
Karen in the woods of Alaska where we had our first snow of the season yesterday.
I am working my way through the pre-op steps and hope to have my laprascopic gastric bypass surgery before 2014 ends. I'd love to meet some other people, especially folks in my area so we can support each other through this process.
If the surgeon (Dr. Grant Searles) submits for medical necessity that the sleeve is the preferred option for me, insurance could authorize for it but its otherwise not covered. I am disappointed and yet crossing my fingers and hopeful. The insurance covers 5 different procedures, all of which are bypass. Has anyone else done this and if so what has your experience been? Is there any concrete reasons a surgeon could use to support such a request and if so what would they be? I am hopeful but worried.! consult appt is on the 23rd of this month. Thanks!
