For most of you who know my story I have some issues with a lady at the surgeons office. She is not very empathetic to me and many others. Well I had my file taken from her and put with a different lady who handles the insurance there. This other lady was the one who wrote up my appeal and helped to get me approved. Well I talked to another friend who goes to this same office. Not only is the first lady doing the educational classes pre-surgery, but she also leads the support group. All I can do is laugh atm because of course I am sure to have fun with these 2 things. My friend warned me too, be on time or she will start without you. I bet!!! LOL I guess I am just seeing too much humor in this situation.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

When you meet with the surgeon, can you have names of people who warned you about her for him and tell him of your problem? Someone should know or it won't change? I'm sorry, this is such a tough thing to go through without support from those key people that you need in your life.

Awww (((((HUGS)))))))
Definately let your surgeon know about the issue since it's his office staff. These kind of people often put their best foot forward for their employers while treating other people like dirt, and some employers are soooo easily conned by their attitudes.

I have worked in medical offices for 20 years and I have seen the best and the worst. I never figured out why they keep people like that ~ how can they not see what's happening. Her co-workers need to stop covering for her. Just do what you need to get thru these classes to accomplish your objective - good luck!
