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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
