Are you sure your going to be denied? Is that what your NUT said? Don't worry yet, get back on track and move forward. It may just mean waiting another month or two, but don't get discouraged. Think positive Boo..............

Be encouraged when I first weighed in I was at 232. At my 1st nutritional visit I was at 236. I asked the same question and boy was I scared. I have Aetna and she just told me be sure not gain anymore weight. I have my 2nd nutritional visit on Wednesday and I am praying that I have not gained anything by there scales. U should be ok. Check with the insurance company and see what your limits are. Good Luck

I have bcbs federal (standard option) and had my surgery July 2013. I lost initially during the preop stage but then gained a few pounds of it back. I did not have any problems with approval. I lost during my 2 week liquid diet. My surgeon's office told me if I gained during that stage they may extend the liquid diet. Good luck with your journey.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
