ALSO NEW TO THIS
No. I started this journey in a series of conversations with my PCP where we finally decided WLS was the way to go. He then did some research on who he thought I ought to go see and started me on my journey. Once he had referred me to the surgeon, their office handled all the tests and putting together all the info for insurance submission. It took a while to get the initial appointment but everything went very smoothly and the insurance was approved on the first try.
Good Luck,
Kim
