Hi Angel, well I also have horizon nj health I just started my process with Dr. Patel at cooper bariatrics so I haven't been approved yet but I can tell you a cousin of mine had the same insurance and it only took her a few months to get her surgery day. How far along are you I'm the process now?

Anxiously waiting for Monday for the surgeon's seminar. Can't do anything till I go to that. Anxious to what requirements I'll have. Worried I don't have weight history documentation...bmi isn't an issue. Anxious all around...feel like Monday will never get here...,

I started with my appointments yesterday with the pulmonary Dr they will schedule a sleep study and have a whole bunch of other appointments. Hopefully I will get approved fast my bmi is actually 37.5 so they are working on finding the co morbilities. I talked to the insurance company and she told me if I had gerd and arthritis I could be approved they just have to prove that it's affecting my health.

Did you need a weight history?

[Angelkeeper4 69]

Do you have to do six months supervised diet?

I wish you a speedy process!

[christyc238 11]

No weight history, and I have to do 3 months with nutritionist that's all

I think the Dr office has a lot to do with it, I was approved with a low BMI (27) and it only took 2 weeks to get approved
