G-LO

They called me this morning and I have been approved...... drum roll please.....
Office consultation quantity 1
and
Lap Gastric Bypass/Roux-e!! quantity 1

So if the Medical Group and Insurance already approved me. Everything else should be easy right???

I mean I go talk to the Surgeon and he might ask me to do a few test but i already got the approval from the Medical Group and Cigna. So im hoping it will be as easy as just getting a date..... Right??

I have done physc test, nutrionist, 6 months, ekg, blood test. Once I did all those we submitted to the Medical group and they approved me then they sent to cigna and they approved me to.

So what do you guys think??? Am i in or do you think i have more obstacles ahead of me?

PS. has any one ever gotten surgery at Cedar Sinai with dr. Theodore Khalili?? I want to know what they think of him.

Thank guys and even if im not 100% im getting the surgery im still eggcited i got approved by the medical group and cigna cuz i been denied twice and this was the 3rd time. I guess 3rd time is a charm

Big Congrats on your approval. I would say you are good to go but always expect that could be a bump here and there. But the hard part is over.

Congratulations on your approval. It seems like the hard part of pre op should be behind you. I hope all goes well for you.
