AmandaW 0 Posted August 3, 2011 When I went in for my consultation they told me I needed to lose 50 pounds before I had the surgery. The reason I was there is because I can't even lose 10 pounds! Was anyone else told this? Also wondering if anyone went to Geisinger in Danville, PA and if they had Geisinger insurance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cindy C 150 Posted August 3, 2011 Wow, really? I can maybe see it if you were over 500 pounds but you're only 273 pounds! That's nuts. I would look for a different doctor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snoopyloverny 3 Posted August 3, 2011 It tookme 9 months to lose 50lbs. That's a lot to be expected. I would personally write a letter to theinsurance company. Did your surgeon or insurance or PCP tell you that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
