ODS Network Oregon



Recommended Posts

I filled out the paperwork for the lap band surgery on Friday 1/14/2011. I hear it takes about 3 weeks for ODS to contact your doctor with an approval or denial. I have about two weeks to go as of 1/21/2011. I have PCOS and my OB/GYN and endocrinologist are both treating me for my weight problem. I am taking metformin 500 mg 3x's a day to aid in weight loss and preventive measure for diabetes. With these diagnosis combined I am being optimistic that the surgery will be approved.

I will keep the Oregon/Washington residents updated.

Weigh: 250

Height: 5'6

Preauth sent in:1/14/11

OK, it took a total of 6 days for the approval of the preauth with ODS. They are paying 85% for surgery. I will keep updating as I go so others who use this insurance will be able to navigate during his or her journey.

ODS insurance is threw Nike, Inc. So maybe OHP didnt want to bear the cost.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
