My medical clearance is my last step before pre=op... I had to see cardiology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, psychology, have 6 months doctor regulated weight loss all before that point....now waiting for insurance clearance....crossing my fingers all clears through for surgery date of 3/19. I am told all they do is go over all the lab work, and other test done by each doctor.....

i did the psychology and my insurance had an option, do 1 yr with the dr or 3 months with the LB dr, so i opted for that. like i said i did the psych, so i guess all the other things u mentioned just need to be done. thats done with one dr right? bc they just told me to go see him and get clearance and have it sent 1 week before which is next thursday and my dr appointment is the day before on wednesday, so i would guess im only going to him, not enough time to see others ya kno? i just want this to be done and the 13th to be here hahaha.
my fingers are crossed to for u and the approval, mine only took a week and a half to approve, how long have u been waiting, hope its fast like mine. good luck and thanks for the feedback.
