Can I still get approved for bariatric surgery, if I don’t have a 2 year medical history? I was on temporary assignments for the last 5 years and I couldn’t afford insurance. The last time I had medical insurance was at the time of my daughter’s birth which was again 5 years ago. Now my husband has a really great job and insurance so I’m looking into getting the gastric sleeve. I’ve gained over 80 pounds and I’m really scared that I won’t be approved without the medical history, please help. By the way I have BCBS Anthem if this helps. Thanks.

Hello, Has anyone had their surgery performed by Dr. Louis Fox in Dallas, TX? If so can you please tell me how did he do. I'm really leaning toward him performing my surgery, just wanted some opinions. Thanks.

Hi, Thank you for your response. So based on that should I go to my pcp and start a program now? So, that once my insurance start this will be documented?

Hello, In 2016 I'm will be on my husbands insurance and it covers up to 80% for Bariatric Surgery. Does BCBS Anthem PPO require you to do the 6 -12 month supervised weight loss? I'm trying to get a primary doctor now to start if that is the case.... Does anyone have any information on this or what steps do I need to take? I'm looking forward to healthier 2016.

Wow! Thank you all for the GREAT suggestions, I really appreciate them. I've been researching and I thought about Dr. Louis Fox but I haven't made any appointments. I just signed up for my employers insurance which happens to be BCBSIL, so I'm just waiting for my insurance card. Would anyone happen to know the approval process for BCBCIL, is there a 6 month supervised diet? Any information would be helpful.

Hi, I'm trying to find a good bariatric surgeon in the Dallas Ft. Worth area. Any suggestions???? Thanks in advance for all suggestions. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed trying find a doctor.
