Hi I'm new to this I'm pre-op for gastric bypass surgery, I've been over weight my whole life I've never been skinny I'm not mother of 4 kids I'm 5'2 and my starting weight in Jan was 316 in Feb I saw my surgeon to discuss weight loss surgery and he said gastric bypass would be good for me I started my journey in Feb this month on July 20th is my last class and they will submit my paperwork to my insurance as of today I'm 283, my question is who here has Medicaid and it's under United health care community plan?? If so did u have any issues getting approved?? I suffer from high blood pressure, I have a bad back injury from being hit by a drunk driver which requires me to get steroid shots every month and be on high pain killers, I also suffer from depression and anxiety and Ptsd, this wkend I will be getting tested for sleep apnea my husband said there are times I stop breathing at night, I've tired to lose the weight on my own the most I've lost is 20lbs but then I always gain double back, if there is anyone out there that has the same insurance as me I would love to hear from u or if u have Medicaid and from Texas plz let me know what ur insurance is and if they cover your surgery my bmi is 50.4 Sent from my SM-N920T using the BariatricPal App
