I have called twice in the last two weeks and both times they said they would call me back and have all my insurance info and talk about setting up a consult ect and nothing! -

So annoyed and I need to get over it!
seaniepoohbear replied to ReneK's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This. Just this. My husband and best(only friend) are the only ones I even told about looking into bariatric surgery( waiting to see about insurance and how much a consult will be) they were both SOOOO VERY UNSUPPORTIVE.....but he tells EVERYONE. It's not his damn business to share!!! "Well they will know something is up if it does happen" ect well that's MY PLACE to deal with not yours!! So I come here to talk because nobody else is nice about it -

I read a lot of bad reviews about follow up for them, did you have any issues? Really? I'm surprised because I have had zero problems. They send me a text the day before each appointment and they are always so nice. I'm about 2 1/2 months post op. Where did you see bad reviews for them? Their Facebook is full of them. -

Why sleeve and not bypass?
seaniepoohbear replied to seaniepoohbear's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
With the sleeve you still have to take vitamins everyday correct? So what's the difference between taking them with the sleeve and with bypass? -

Yes I'm wondering that too, I'm at 42 now and scared to "lose" because I have heard insurance has denied people due to dropping BMI. -
I'm supposed to do a web seminar on Wednesday, is this the same as in person? What can I expect?

I also fear this. I don't want to leave my kids without a mommy....which is also what's pushing me to do this -
Waiting on Insurance
seaniepoohbear replied to jembell01's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have Cigna and they do cover weight loss surgery. Call the number on your Cigna ID card and ask them for a copy of your employer's particular policy. Weight loss surgery is option and some employers opt out. What all did you have to do to be approved? My BMI is right at 42 but is there a waiting period and tons of appointments? -
