About to begin the 6 month process of getting my wls covered by Molina. I have learned that I have to do 12 mental health appointments, 12 dietitian and 12 physical therapy. Does anyone else have Molina? Is this real? I am so discouraged because it will be almost impossible to work and complete their insane requirements. Sent from my SM-J320P using the BariatricPal App

I am waiting on my stage 2 approval from Molina. I am really scared about all the requirments and appointments. It sounds crazy. Hopefully spring will be surgery for me. Sent from my SM-J320P using the BariatricPal App I got approved for stage 2. Yay! I'm really anxious about what is going to happen between now and surgery. I hear it is such a long process. I honestly am worried I might die before I get surgery. I'm 35 mostly healthy but 422 lbs with high blood pressure. I know thats a but dramatic but it is a cincern I have. I just don't want to be fat anymore. Everything I eat makes me sick. I feel like my stomach is in my throat even when I eat small amounts. I just want to live a long healthy life. I'm on my way to a better life. Sent from my SM-J320P using the BariatricPal App

Thank you for the encouragement. I am anxious because I am just so miserable at my weight. Also scared because I have never lost a considerable amount of weight on my own. I am scared about the weight they are going to require me to loose. I started preparing for surgery 2 months ago and my PCP dropped the ball and didn't do what was required for then and left me hanging for basically 2 months. I have never had wls before so I didn't know what to expect. I have been waiting for about call that would never have come and 2 months went by when I could have many appointments finished already. So frustrating. I now believe I am on the right track and should hear back from my insurance next week. My current weight is 422, height is 5'7 with hight blood pressure, sleep apnea, chronic edema and pain of course. I feel pretty confident that I will get approved.
