Congrats question.....is the weight loss a requirement of insurance

Hello all I'm new here I am 28 years old and a mother of three I've struggled with my weight my whole entire life currently I am for 11 at 350 pounds I need the surgery to save my life so that I can live for my children and I have a better quality of life I've been playing around with the idea of going in the surgery for about a year and now I'm ready to make that change this commitment to a better me. Definitely looking for Support as I've seen this process isn't the easiest process and I'm just starting out. I have an appointment for my second seminar I previously went to one at the mercy weight loss center and I was really interested but I didn't know that the main hospital here has a center is also a center of excellence so I'm gonna go there and check it out and see which hospital I like the best and then I'm going to choose what program I'm going to go with. How did you choose your program ?

@@dark n lovely wow you have done awesome so far. I hope I too can be successful @@BeagleLover thanks for the insight. I called my insurance and there is no diet requirements but do require center of excellence...,. After my seminar I've decided to go with unity point of Iowa! I'm super excited

Good luck at your appt!

Thank you for sharing and great job on your weight-loss so far.

Hugs ... I've heard that the surgery is sometimes your body makes you stall because adjusting to the changes that you've made. Maybe try to reach out to your surgeons office to see what you can do to help get your body past the stall.

That's alot of test but you are off to a great start. Are the test a requirement of ur insurancee or doctor? How long did it take to get a visit with your surgeon

You're on your way to the losers bench. How long did it take you to get to this point?

I can't wait to be that close to surgery.

Hey all, I'm a newbie as well. Just starting this process. My insurance does not have a supervised diet(thank goodness) I do need to have a psych evaluation and center of excellence. I'm hoping to be sleeved in January. I wish you all the best of luck with ur surgeries and approval. Let's get to the losers bench!!!

Good luck!

I just started the process but all my insurance and employer requires is psych evaluation bmi over 40 center of excellence. My doctor requires 2 classes and some test. Crossing my fingers for a January surgery date

I hear ya! Hope you won't need a mask but hope u have other co morbidity so you get all ur approvals

Everyone looks Amazing. I'm just starting the whole process...wish me luck!

Hi all my name is Kayla I'm 27 years old 4ft 11in 360lbs needless to say I Need something to help kickstart my weight loss. I've been overweight my entire life. I initially looked into WLS earlier this year but wanted to give regular diet and exercise another go..... I worked for Wells Fargo and have been working out over my lunch hour for months - I have lost 15lbs... After a very difficult workout I made the decision to get some help.. It was either surgery or an very possible early death. I have united healthcare and from what I'm told will cover the vsg surgery with a few requirements My BMI is 70.4 yikes and I have sleep apnea. I thought this process would be quick but I'm finding out it might be next year until I get surgery,. I'm super excited to begin my life...looking for some pals to share this with. Good luck to you all on each of your journeys

Thank you all!! Love this place
