NettyD replied to Jnpxo2's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hey lady, I work for the insurance carrier and Like you said each policy varies. You included whatโs called an SBC you will need to request for the actual Contract or benefit booklet to get the details. You should also call the insurance company to ask the question and what are the requirements. Good luck ๐๐ฝ -
I am still in the pre op stage and if God willing I should have my surgery July 2023 with this dr. Did you have your WLS with this dr? How was your experience?

Weight loss stall 3 weeks out
NettyD replied to Shineaiggy29's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Did your care team instruct you to weigh yourself daily? That would be too much for me to weigh myself daily since our weight fluctuates. -

Why was it pushed back? Look on the bright side you have a few extra weeks to get your mindset right for this life changing surgery? ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ

BARELY any weight loss in first two weeks??
NettyD replied to MaameWata's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am just starting my WLS journey so I have no feedback but will follow this thread. I think I will stay off the scale for the first month after surgery or only get on at my follow up visits. I wish you the best of luck -
After surgery concerns.. Help!
NettyD replied to Bariiime's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Iโm in the beginning stage ๐ฉ๐ฉ and just started the 6 month process in January so Iโm praying that my surgery date will be in July -
I believe insurance companies have up to 30 days to approve or deny coverage. I would keep checking your member portal every few days. Or call customer service

I hope everything works out and that sucks that they did not confirm with you at the time

@SamProvost which insurance carrier are you with? Are you in the pre op stage?
