@@RobynTurner also if you call your insurance and ask them if your policy covers it they will tell you. Thats what I did .

@@RobynTurner have you tried google .. if not than you should google something like " does cigna insurance covers weight loss surgery " you might find some info.

@@shrinkingkimber that is awesome ! You are lucky. My insurance covers it too and they require 3 months of diet wich still not that bad. Good luck

@@jaybee b how exciting ! Let me know what happens @@RobynTurner wish you the best of luck.

@@Cervidae congrats and thnk you so much and i sure will add you . BTW how was the seminar how long after the seminar did you see the surgeon ?

@@RobynTurner nice i cant wait until i see the surgeon .and have you called your insurance too see if its coverd it ?

Well i had one for a d&c (still preo-op) and all i remember was been in the pre-op room & the guy telling me " you are going yo feel a little sleepy " and i was out .. first thing i remember was the nurse telling me to breath .

Hello and good Morning everyone i was wondering what happens during your first surgeon appt ? Just curious ..

I guess in my state is different .. i called my insurance and they have no requirements only the surgeons letter . And when i call the surgeons office they aid i have to attend a seminar feb 9th than call them on the 10th and make an appoiment with the surgeon after that i will see the nutrionist .

Hi everyone , My name is Jessica and i have been obese most of my life . My fathers side of the family all suffer from obesity (300+pounds) . During the last 5 years i had 4 kids and my weight became worst. I have tried exercise , diets and when i do lose some weight i would regain twice the amount i lost in a day ... i feel like such a bad mother because of my weight .I cant do much with my kids because my body is just so tired .I'm 5 ft tall and last time i weight myself 5 months ago i was 220 pounds . And i know i have gained weight . I'am so ready to be "normal" but i also don't know what to expect , or if i even qualify ... what do you guys think ?

Okay so yesterday i posted about wanting to get WLS . Some suggested researching and reading about it . Well i started doing that today and i read alot about tooth decay after WLS. I was wondering if anybody can share some experiences or some knowledge on the subject. It kind of freaked me out.

Sorry for all the typos , i'm on a new phone and without glasses.

I am prepare for the surgery . I was just asking to get informed and get advice .. i would never not go for blood work or anything that can make my health worst .. i have for little ones counting on me so my health is number 1 . Again just looking for information and advice.

Thank you for replying . Yes i read about the vitamins and calcium . Some of the post i read claim they did verything vitamins , calcium , flossing etc and they still had tooth loss .. they said something about acid and vomiting ..i have always been scared of loosing my teeth but of course if i get approve i will go to the dentist first just to get some extra advice.

Thank you all .. i asked my insurance if there is a requirement of a diet and they said no . Just the letter .i made an appoiment with the surgeon and nutricionist but have to attend to a seminar on feb 9th. Did anyone atten the seminar and can tell me a little about it .

Thank you all for the replys .. I just called My insursnce and they told me they only need a letter from the surgeon . No other requirements needed. I'm going to a seminar on feb 9 . Anybody tell me how long did they process take between the seminar , surgeon , & diet ? Thank you.
