Question #2

ok, so I started my WL journey with my PCP and had my 1st appointment, March 24, with him just strictly to talk about having WLS and the insurance requirements, etc. Now, my 1st appointment with my surgeon is April 21 but my 2nd appointment with my PCP to do a check up on my progress with dieting and weight loss is April 22nd. So my question is who do I keep seeing, BOTH???? If your confused, I apoligize in advance...lol

Hi, I read in another thread that you are going to GBMC. I would definitely do the 3 month multidisciplinary visits with them. if you go to your PCP for the diet visits I believe you will have to do the 6 months instead because it is not mutlidisciplinary program. But since you already started make sure to tell Dr. Moein aout your appt with your PCP and see what he suggests. Good luck

Yup, GBMC is where I'm going and would rather do the 3 month multidisciplinary visits. I was just trying to cover everything I guess. I'm just so afraid/nervous with the outcome of the Insurance. Can't Dr. Moein's office get like a Pre-Approval stating that if I complete the 3 month multidisciplinary visits, I will be a go for surgery. I'm just really worried that! Gosh and just to think, I don't even meet with the Dr. Moein for another 3 weeks. I'm going to drive myself crazy...lol

No there isn't any pre-approval process. Everything gets sent in te last day of your Multidisciplinary visit. The day you go to your consult with Dr. Moein is considered month 1 and then may month 2 and June will be your third month. it will go quickly and after they send it in you will get the approval within a week. I got mine in 2 days.

ok, now I understand. Thanks so much for clearing that up. I guess I will learn all this when I go for my first appointment. Maybe I should just hold off on any more questions until after my appointment. I'm sure yall on this board get so tired of answering the same questions when the new members come on board...lol
