Waiting in columbus....

 Hello all. I am in need of some information...if anyone has it?  I have been waiting for Ohio State University Bariatric Program to submit my paperwork to insurance!!  I have been working on getting surgery for almost one year.  We are finally up to the "submitting" it stage.  At the beginning of October I got a call saying that the surgeon's had reviewed my file and approved it and that it should be submitted to insurance in "a week or so."  Five weeks later and three calls placed to my insurance company, and one email to OSU and no answers.  

I am just ready to have it done with.  Also, I am planning on having the VSG with Dr. Needleman. I understand he hasn't done many of this type of surgery.  Does anyone have any insight or history with this program/surgeon?

p.s. i posted this on the general vsg site but thought I might get more insight on the Ohio site...

The Ohio group isn't very active so you will get more response from the VSG and Main boards.
Good luck!

I would be contacting OSU every day.  You have a dedicated person based on your last name -- give them a call and the lady who submits to insurance (Kelly? not sure of the exact name.

I know they have not done many VSGs... I am in the program, too with 2 more months of the 6 month BLAST class to go.

I have not had an issue with them not returning calls, etc.

Good luck to you!
