Hi all! I am brand new to all of this. I have my first info session on Tuesday. I plan to move forward. I have a few questions. I am not concerned about about insurance coverage too much, I have read a lot. I have a BMI of 40, PCOS, and currently high bp. Does PCOS count as an additional condition? I have Cigna, I am not super concerned about the 6 month diet if they make me do it. But...what if I lose a lot of weight? Will I then not be eligible? Can anyone tell me what happens after this info session? Do they usually weigh you at this? How soon was your consult after? What next?? Thanks!!!

Thank you SO much for your replies. I did call my insurance and I did attend the information session. I do have a 6 month requirement. The nurse who led the information session said that the insurance relies on your weight prior to surgery, not your weight when you begin the process. That is the only thing that is frustrating to me. I am going to have to sort of maintain my fat at this point. I am at a pretty high point for me. I could easily lose 15-20 pounds but I am wondering when I am going to be weighed last, after the liquid diet? Anyway, I plan to ask the surgeon on Monday when I meet with them. Can you all tell me anything more about your journey, has it been worth it?
