I have started the process. I know my insurance Anthem *** Colorado covers it as a "surgical procedure" I do not know the hoops I have to go thru to be approved. I am concerned about the 6 months supervised diet. I typically can stick to a diet for a while and lose some weight but it always comes back and then some. Do I have to diet and fail to get the approval? Or do I have to show I can be compliant with new eating habits? Thanks Suzy

Hi Everyone I am Suzy and I live in CO. I am considering the sleeve as my weight is very high and I am tired of it. I have tried many diets and can lose 20-50lbs but then I gain it all back again. I have 4 kids 12-5 years old. I am currently a SAHM but would like to return to work in the next few years. I know at my weight right now, I would have a hard time finding a job. My concern is has anyone done this without the cheerleading of your spouse. My husband is not in favor but knows he doesn't have the final say. He feels like I could do this all on my own. did that failed it. He has always prefered larger girls. I was 220 when met. He says he will drive to to and home from the hospital, stay with me and support me but not be a cheerleader. I have friends that are supportive so they are the people I talk to about it. He worries about how meals will change. I told him they would be more healthy. I would be eating much smaller portions. He does have a weight problem himself. He will not consider WLS himself. I know I can't convince him too. It must be his own decision. Suzy

I have an *** run by anthem in CO, in previous years it was set at a 14,000$ max. It now says benefit Determined at place of service. Anyone know what that means? Is it better coverage or worse? Suzy
