High all!! I'm looking for anyone with any experiences with Health Net through Medi-Cal or just Health Net in general?? I am in the process of trying to get approved for the sleeve but I would really love to gain some more insight on what Health Net's specific requirements are as I am trying really hard to get approved on the first try. I'm sure I fit the criteria-265 lbs, bmi of 46, high cholesterol and triglycerides,early on set of diabetes and possible sleep apnea. The one big thing is,I have been overweight since 10 and dieting on and off since 13 BUT I have never been on a medically supervised diet until now!! And while I know that I am telling the truth about trying to lose the weight in the past they don't!! Insight plz?? TIA

Hello! I am interested in hearing how your experience has been with HealthNet. I am contemplating which MediCal program to sign up for and HealthNet is an option. What was the process like for you? Any tips?

Thanks!

I got assigned Molina and haven't tried to move forward toward a surgery at this time. But I'm still interested in learning more about the process.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

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