Yes I did, and the Insurance have actually been great.

[mrsaizsha_101 23]

How many times did u see the doctor within that time frame?.. my BMI is right at 40.68 or something like that so if I loose 10 pounds I wont b able to have the surgery so waiting 6 months just to have the surgery would really suck!! Im ready for the change.

[Jenny Pooh 7]

Yes..it was something...I had seen the doctor in November 2013...but my health insurance didn't cover bariatric surgery... I had to wait to switch my HMO....I did in July...but also start any weight loss program plus seen my doctor once a month...and in July I seen the psychologist... Nutritist... Same day...and they submitted my packet to insurance on Aug 18...approval on Aug 21.. I think it was quick because I started the other program too...and its Medicaid..

@mrsaizsha...I understand when you ready you ready....don't give up...it will come quick...

[mrsaizsha_101 23]

Thank u so much for a break dowm of how it worked with insurance. Im glad urs is coming up so soon.... and I am definitely ready.

[Jenny Pooh 7]

Mrsaizsha you all welcome... That's what we are hear for...I think talking to people who not going through it...its hard for them to understand....but I'm here if you need anything...I'm glad to because of my insurance issue I thought I wouldn't be able too for awhile... But I got it done..just do as much as you can now...6 months will be here in no time

[mrsaizsha_101 23]

Exactly! Talking to my husband is like talking to a wall. He knows hoe I feel but doesnt understand the toll it takes on ur emotions ya know. Like u said u also have the same insurance so this is very helpful. I should hear from the bariatric doctors office this week about the requirements from UH for me. Keep ur fringers crossed for me that they wont make me wait 6 months!! Will keep u ladys updated and u do the same pls
