Anyone here have Health Net through Medi-Cal??



Recommended Posts

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
