Gastic Bypass

[87deondessiree7 5]

Im so nervous about getting bypass for weight loss that I I've missed a couple of nutrition visits. I have three left so I need to get it together! The state is suppose to pay for the work being done, and the after work too idk but that's what my surgeon says too me. Is it possible that after I do all the steps to get approved that I get denied the gastic bypass surgery? I'm also having bad dreams that I won't loss weight or I look crazy after loading to much its crazy. I'm 25 and the doctor believes I will do great! I really need a lot of support not to many people around me like the idea and I've lost friends because of it too. They said I would be too confident in myself is I lost weight and they wouldn't be able to deal with me then ( okay)????

You should check with your insurance or nutritionist about missing classes. I know mine had to be consecutive. In sure you will look amazing after surgery!

There are differences between insurance companies and it's always possible for someone to be denied. But insurance companies revolve around and make the majority of their decisions based on economic statistics. I would say the odds are in your favor for being approved assuming you meet their criteria which is usually a BMI of 40 or greater OR a BMI of 35 with one or two comorbidities (depending on the company). The skyrocketing cost of obesity not only in terms of treatment but in terms of lost productivity is well documented. For most insurance companies, the cost of paying for bariatric surgery is a good investment because it dramatically reduces their overall cost of future treatment for obesity related diseases. Even if you were to be denied initially, the insurance company will usually specify what needs to be done for you to be approved. Go for it and don't stop until "Approved"!!
