I had a few questions about WLS. The pro's I know of but I am just afraid of the cons, also if I should or shouldn't go through with the process of talking with doctor, getting a referral and approval and surgery date etc. I haven't seen a PCP doctor in a long time, and because of Medi-Cal insurance I am unable to even go to mine because he is not accepting New Patient appts, so I have had no Diabetes, High Cholesterol, etc Blood Work done ever. I am 24, 100 plus over supposed weight i should be for my height, and my mom has had high cholesterol, and my grandfather has heart disease, and grandmother has diabetes, a few of her sisters also. I am still Breastfeeding and have had 3 c section surgeries and would like to have more children via VBAC in the future also so I really want to know how WLS will affect my body, reproductive organs and all other organs with rapid weight loss, and getting used to the new lifestyle. T.I.A

Anyone know the requirements that nned to be met to get approved for WLS on Anthem BC California?

ok thank you!

thank you choosehope !! yea those pros do outweigh the cons seems like. ok thank you james

thank you, wow 5 years I still haven't even gotten blood work done don't even know what conditions I have , if any

Hey all, i was just wondering if anyone can answer my question. If i dont get approved by my insurance, and i won't be able to pay or save up by anytime soon. Can i still get a loan, i have bad credit am a student and have no job. What loans if any? Thank you

Hey y'all Ok so i am not there yet, but i was wanting to know how long should i be lookin at with the process of gettin to surgery from the First ever appointment with your PCP askin for referral?

oo yes that is quick, hopefully the process wont be tooo long for me

Okk thank you.

2 months only, you didnt have to do that 6month diet?

Thank you ya'll !!

Ohh ok thank you!

Thank you

oo ok . i see. i hope my c-sections wont get in the way of WLS Sleeve.

When you say you had other abdominal surgeries, so they did an open incision, does that mean like for example, delivering a baby cesearean section (c-section)???? Also you say they reconstructed your abdominal wall, would that be an extra fee to the WLS ? And will your belly button always have to go with reconstruction the abd wall.

Sacramento, CA here

ok will be doin that in the AM . thank you!
