Hi all, I'm new to this. So I have been signing medical release forms from my current Dr's and having them fax my history to the Bariatric Dr. I want them to have a book ready in hand when I go for my consult. I got a call today from them telling me I have to wait for consultation date. Well sorry but I want you to have it all now so we are not stalling on this process. I want it ASAP. Did anyone follow the rules on this process? I already have an insurance clearance that I will be covered at 100% with this Dr. So why wait??

Hey! I have the same plan, my Health Coach with Optum website told me there was no waiting period. Did you get a response yet???? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Were you required to complete the nut and psychologist prior to date options? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So here is my benefits under bariatric, but what does 90 days before or after surgery mean?? How do you all read this? Do I have to see specialist prior to scheduling surgery or can I do that after the surgery? So confused Thanks Jen Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes, my husband and parents are the only ones that know. I feel like others will only judge me because I'm not loosing it on my own. A lot of people have said this was the easy way out. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Does anyone know how far back bariatric Dr's will look at medical history? I met with a nut about a year ago and have been through 4 weight loss programs since 2008. I already was diagnosed with sleep Apnea so I feel like all I need to do now it see a psychologist, but not sure if they will accept me seeing the nut a year ago? Anyone else?

Wait it does! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It does not say at all. I was told there is no 3 or 6 month waiting period for the surgery, but nothing on history Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Okay, so finished my sleep study step, diagnosed sleep apnea. Pending Seminar and consult with my bariatric surgeon! I pray that this will go swiftly and quickly! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Well, as long as you have your Fluid intake and exercise 30-40 mins daily you could lose the weight more steadily and possibly more quickly. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have heard that having a BMI to that extreme, it would be quickly moved along to prevent further weight gain and complications. But, I have also heard that a 3 month requirement of trying to lose weight on your own may have to be done. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Okay, just had my sleep study last night and have my follow up is on Tuesday, June 7th. It was the most uncomfortable process. I hope I slept enough for them to see if I have sleep Apnea. Anyone have issues too and were they still able to determine?? Jen Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

"The Yapper" thanks for the reply. I'm really hoping I don't have to do that again. I'm also afraid to wearing a machine too, esp with my hubs. Does it make a lot of sound?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Annie, thanks for the reply. Yes, the lady came in 2 times to adjust my wires. I think I slept about 4 hours, but felt like no sleep at all and woke up miserable. That stinks to have to wait that long for insurance to cover! Come on insurance we are trying to get healthy here so health costs go down. Lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
