It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

If your insurance requires the 6-month diet, then if the surgeon submits before that is up it will be denied. Don't worry, it will go by quicker than it seems.

No, You have to have everything in order and completed when it is submitted.  Trust me Bev knows what she is doing.  She is awesome and I got approval from my insurance within 3 business days.  Trust her!

This was the question I needed help with too!
My insurance requries 6 months, first app tomorrow..woohoo..
So do I do all the other stuff required before that and then wait for insurance or what?

Oh and I also wondered, if you don't have surgeyr approved did you have to pay for all the labs and dietician stuff since they can't attach it as part of a non approved surgery?
