Ky Passport Insurance



Recommended Posts

For anyone interested I'm posting my experiences with Ky Passport Insurance requirements and Georgetown Bariatrics: I have posted other info up to this point which can be read from my profile.....ok so I received a call from the insurance coordinator who is extremely nice and knowledgeable she scheduled me for an appointment on March 31st, this is an all day see everyone appointment from 8am- 4pm which I think is a brilliant idea dietician, surgeon, psych all done in one day psych evaluation is not covered by my insurance and is the only out of pocket cost at $250 that is due the day of this appointment they call you the day before to collect this fee. She says a packet of info will be sent out explaining the details of the day. She went over again my supervised "diet" requirements which for me personally is that I'm 5'8" 272lbs and a BMI of 41.3 so she stressed that I cannot gain any weight or lose any weight that will take me under a 40 BMI or I will be denied straight away ???? so that's going to be a balancing act. She said maintaining weight is still considered success. Ok that's all I have for now. It really seems to be going fairly quickly, I have my 2nd "diet" check in with my PCP on April 10th to make sure I haven't lost any weight I guess lol. I will follow up whenever I have anymore info. Thanks for reading.

      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?
