With my insurance it's a 6 month long process. I have to go to the doc, get a psych eval, go to meetings, meet with a dietitian and nutritionist.
My insurance is crazy. I don't know why they make me wait 6 months, but whatever....I'll do what I gotta do.

I may be morbid, but I know the benefits, I want to know if anyone had any bad experiences?

Thanks
Im at about the same point as you. I am on month two. I have to go through exactly the same things. Plus my insurance doesnt pay for the nutritionist or psych eval so I gotta find a way to pay for those. Good luck on everything. Maybe we can go through the process together?
