Ok I'm sitting here with a bunch of questions.. My wife and I are doing surgery together, both our dates are the same! So this is what has happened so far. Went to a 90 min seminar, then after we met with the billing and filled a bunch Of paper work. Our PCP has already sent them notes, so what we were told was according to our insurance nothing is required! We already had a sleep study, an endoscopy, and a colonoscopy, and met with psychiatry, all prior to making the initial appt. They were pretty shocked. they said now all we have to do meet with the surgeon which we did. he gave us a h-pylori test which were negative and said your good to go. all you have to do is wait to meet with dietitian, and pre-op testing and that's it. So we were called with our surgery date 2 days later and were both scheduled for AUGUST 21st!!! We are ecstatic! main question is. anyone have United health care medicare complete choice (regional PPO) as primary and Medicaide as secondary and come across any snags?? Anyone have their surgery with their loved one??

Welcome to the group!

Do you have someone to help both of you after surgery since you won't be able to help each other.

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
