That’s what I thought but I keep getting mixed answers

I told my best friend after my surgical consult and she wasn’t supportive. She was actually mad and upset that I wouldn’t be as fun on the cruise we’re goong on in August. She is overweight and has been trying to lose weight as well. She doesn’t qualify for surgery and honestly I think she’s jealous or resentful on some level. My mom and sister know. A few very close family friends. I am debating on telling coworkers who I am close with. But it’s not really anybody’s business.

I am going to be sleeved in May or June 2018

Did you have to do 6 visits or 7? I am 3 months into mine with my primary doctor

My surgery clinic told me insurance approval goes by your starting weight at the initial consult

I had this very same fear. The approval and surgeon go by your starting weight at the initial consultation!!!

I also have Anthem, question...is it 6 visits or 7 that they require? I first saw my primary 2 weeks before my surgical consult because I knew the requirement and wanted a jump start. He’s been so supportive!

Thanks! My journey started a little differently. My gyno referred me to the bariatric clinic when I saw her in October and I was at my highest weight, 230. I have pcos and went off birth control for two months...instant 15 lbs. I called my insurance before my consult and found out about the 6 months. I made an appointment with my primary 2 weeks before the consult in November and have been seeing him every month since.

I have anthem bcbs and I’m in month 3 of mwm. I got my psych clearance on monday! I am curious if the mwm is 6 visits or 6 months (7 visits). Can’t seem to find much detail
