Ok but don't gain? I started with my pcp and haven't seen the surgeons yet but switching insurance after January.

I was encouraged to start losing and if I gained that could prevent me from having the surgery. Dr Varnell was my surgeon. He was great! My insurance didn't require a 6 month monitored diet.

Dr said if you gain that could prevent you?

Yes could prevent or delay surgery. They want to know you're serious and this is a life long change

Does Bailey require you to have a sleep study regardless of insurance?

Also do they suggest what surgery they think you should have or is it your personal preference?

No, they ask you which one you want. They will answer your questions, but it's your choice.

Do the surgeons at Bailey require a weight loss once you start the program with them? I know some surgeons require you lost weight prior to them submitting to insurance. I am on the borderline bmi with no cormibs.

I was told to maintain my weight. You'll need to meet criteria of bmi or bmi with co-morbid. They're upfront and awesome team.
