What should I be doing...

So I know I go visit the surgeon on May 8th. I should receive my packet of information from the St. V's Bariatric Center to fill out today or tomorrow. However during this "holding pattern" what should I be doing? Should I be going to all my Dr.'s (knee surgeon, PCP, chiropractor, etc.) and get letters? I want to be as prepared as possible for the Insurance company etc. Any guidance would be much appreciated! P.S. I am going to try and attend the clothing exchange and bring some size 18s and 2Xs I no longer can wear. Hope to see you all there!

Samantha, Get any relavant medical records from your doctor's office. Also if they are willing to write you a letter that would help. Then make copies for yourself. Take all this with you for your consult. The packet will explain this as well. It is anyone's guess when the packet will arrive. Good Luck! Sherry

HI Samantha...I actually had all my medical records from all of my specialists/doctors sent/faxed over to the Bariatric Center prior to my initial consultation so that they would have EVERYTHING they needed to get my info in the mail to my insurance company!!! I had approval within 5 days of my insurance company recieving my paperwork, so that might help you!!! Best wishes!!! "HUGZZZZZ" ~~~Shari
