Hey Danielle!! My bmi was 37 as well, so right off the bat I had to have 6 months of observation. I had/have co-morbidities, which was the reason Health plus approved my surgery (Hip Arthritis and Sleep Apnea) I used (follow up with) Dr. Piotr Gorecki at Methodist Hospital in Brooklyn, and I absolutely LOVE him. the downside is that with Health-plus he can only be seen in the clinic on Wed & fri.

It took them about 2 weeks to approve the surgery, it had to be rescheduled because of a drs note that needed to be submitted, but it was only a 2 week difference (orig. may 7th, resched/ actual surgery may 21) If you want more info on him, Let me know

Hey I cam across one of your blogs and need some help please! I am in the process of obtaining health plus - medicaid... what type of requirements did they require for you to get the surgery? my bmi is 37 and i dont have any other health issues.. Any suggestions or advice? How long did it take you to get the actual surgery and also, which surgeon did you use. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much
