Welcome

I got Approved my Bmi is 42.8.

First after calling the insurance to see if your plan include it. and if they need a documented weight history. See if you meet the requirements.

Find a Doctor that maybe they recommend.

I ll be switching to one they recommend too because I'm concerned about experienced and good follow up care. My doctor said he never work with a WLS pt, so in switching.

I simply followed the plan they recommended to me. It was the 6 month program not hard at all.

They tried to. Deny me saying my company excluded WLS a last minute trick. I won within 3 hours of finding out about the denial.

You can do it too!

Good luck!

My surgeon requires that a form be completed by my PCP, in this form it asks if the patient has been morbidly obese for 5 years. My doctor checked yes for this and also listed 2 diets that Ive tried. So, with that information, my insurance should be satisfied! Lets keep our fingers crossed!

Yep

Enjoy the Journey

It can be frustrating at times but its really okay!

I think you got this too. If your policy covers it that the main thing. Looks like that Pcp covered the recommendation basis.

Last thing the hoop jumping/appointments

in the end it's not hard at all.
