Look up UW weight loss clinic. Call them and tell them you have Molina. They will explain what you need to do. With Molina you need to be referred by your primary doctor.

First off you have to get approved with your insurance then they will send you the information on what you need to do next. See your PCP first and let him know what you are wanting to do.

Hi!

I have molina in Washington State. So I just got the email from the weight loss surgery clinic to complete the seminar. I did it online and I'm now waiting:) I was doing research and I see the requirements are 12 of each nutrition, mental health, and physical therapy. I have fibromyalgia and I have already been doing physical therapy for that, plus I go to counseling and have been going to weight watchers. Will I be able to use this to meet my goals or do I have to do it all over again?

Thanks so much :)

HI Morgan,

Unfortunately the answer is yes, you'll have to do all of the requirements, it needs to be specifically aimed toward surgery once you are approved for stage 2 with Molina. There is really no way around the requirements set by Molinas Bariatric program. Good luck with your journey!

Wow that is awesome. I havent been to an appt yet. My first appt since getting approved is next tuesday. Do you have any suggestions. I would love to finish everything up in 3 months!

I am just getting started in this whole process and I have Amerigroup thru apple health. If you don't mind. Could you tell me about your experience? How is your weight loss journey going? I have done a lot of research and decided today that I'm going to do the sleeve. How did you even get your foot in the door with amerigroup? I'm debating if I should change plans because it seems as though it's much easier thru Molina. Any help and or advice is welcome.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
