Has anyone been approved without the 6 months weight loss supervised diet? Or maybe approved by only having 39.9 bmi an sleep apnea? I just want to know and see where I stand with my insurance once my paper work is submitted. Thank u!

My Insurance only required a three month pre diet, and it didn't require me to lose any weight on the diet to qualify for the surgery. My insurance is independent blue cross.....

I should have said I have healthfirst and through medicaid here in NY. I really hope once my surgeon receives all the results and clearance I don't have to finish the 6 months, however I am on my third month! :D I'm hoping something by July or August! I'm so excited and nervous!!

You need to check with your company. Insurance varies based on what plan your company negotiated with the insurance company. good luck with your journey.

I did try but according to the representative they don't know, but I'm sure she was just trying to give me a hard time. That won't take my excitement away thinking I'm soooo close. I'll try again tomorrow. Thank u!!

Yea I would try again and hopefully you'll get someone who knows what they are talking about. I have Medical Mutual and I called them and they told me exactly what I needed. However there is a weight management program that I went through (separate from the surgery clinic) that knew the ins and outs as well.

Anyway my BMI was 39 w/ OSA.. But I also have HTN.

I didn't have a wait or a supervised diet, and no preauth required. I called the insurance company and they gave me all the details with no problem, and even sent it in a letter. I have BCBS of Michigan.

Yah mine was like that too. 6 months supervised diet, psych eval, pulmonary eval (although I'm. It sure thats for everyone as I have OSA), info session, attendance to 3 support groups (although I didn't do this bc it is at the hospital I work out so I didn't go for confidentiality reasons... Didn't want to see my patients there :P) and 3-4 nutrition visits.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
