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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
