Getting Burned and Lessons Learned

I recently had my initial consultation and was very happy to hear that I had a good shot at getting approved with my insurance for VSG (Carefirst BCBS MD, PPO) I've been thinking about WLS for over a year already but had an unfortnate situation where I had to wait for benifits that included WLS for morbidly obese. So, I visited my PCP thinking that I was going to get the 6 month documentation out of the way so that I could have a jump start on the process when the insurance kicked in. I learned a valuable lesson here that you should know if your going through this process . It doesn't matter if you do six months with your PCP if they don't document it in their notations about the visit. If your going to do your six month requirement with your PCP you need to spell out what you need from them because they many not have much experience doing this with patients. It doesn't matter that you talked about it if they don't document it. So, one step forward and six months back. I learned my leason not to assume anything.  Tim
