Hi..what kind of insurance do you have?Most insurance doesn't require a co morbidity if you are over 40bmi. I didn't have any. No sleep apnea, no diabetes, no high blood pressure, nothing. All I had was the super high BMI and they approved me right away.

Hey I'm also from covington and just had my first visit on Thursday and I am so confused by all of the replies.
Hi I'm in Covington...STPH. I've only had my first visit with the surgeon and nutritionist. Not sure what the process is yet. I know his office spoke with my insurance company. But when do you know everything's a GO! They gave me the packet, step down diet to start and 1 month follow up appointment....but that's pretty much all I know.Hi Lastmemory318! I'm in Baton Rouge, but my surgery will be in Lafayette. What part of Louisiana are you in and where will your surgery be?

I just had my first visit with the nutritionist and the surgeon, do the doctor office communicate well and help to get things done. Did it take long for your approval?

Then I have been stressing about having to pay the 20 percent and the deductible at the same time, it's so stressful.
