June - July sleevers?

[moriat042 13]

Late July/early August for me. My last appt is May 26 and they said surgeries are scheduled around 2 months out right now. Hopefully they're alil better staffed then tho so it's quicker lol. I'm lucky that my insurance only wants 3mo of classes. Nobody told me I had to lose during preop tho? I've been seeing people mention it in here...?

Yes or your insurance will reject it. They want to see the money that are dishing out is worth it.

We didn't have to lose they said at or below the weight you started at, which means no gaining n if you do it better be gone by the last visit or they will deny you 1st time I habe UMR

Weird, I'm Highmark BCBS and they want me to lose 30 lbs before surgery.

I think it all depends on what type you have, like ours is through the State husband is a Sgt with DOC.

My insurance didn't tell me to lose, but wanted me to have weight loss consults with my PCP for three consecutive months. I've been losing anyway. I have to make lifelong changes, might as well start now.

The surgeon wanted me to lose ten pounds before surgery to prove I'm willing. I think the 61 pounds I've lost in the past 15 months should count for that!?! Lol.

I lost the ten and a few more, so it's fine. I'm still waiting to hear if my insurance has approved. It's been in process one week. They have 30 days to decide. I'll have a preop visit with the surgeon when (if) I'm approved and then surgery.

I have to schedule around coworkers too. I'm sure that will postpone me.

I'm really excited for all of you with surgery dates!!!! Yay!!!!

Lost a total of 8 pounds this month, the nut was thrilled.... but another wrench in the plans. The insurance coordinator came in and said my insurance has added in another stipulation. Your first and last supervised weight loss visits must be at least 180 days apart. My first one was December 1, so my 6th appt is now scheduled for May 31.... 183 days from my first appointment. We were trying for early May, but this is the hand I'm dealt so I'll take it with a smile and know that I'm still heading towards the loser's bench.

I don't know if mine have to be 180 days apart. The scheduling nurse made scheduled all of the rest of my appointments so I guess she knows what shes doing. I hope. Lol

I just counted mine arent first and last dietician appts arent 180 days apart. If thats the rule at my insurance I couldnt have my surgery until at least Aug 14 instead of July 25 when Im scheduled. I better ask then next time I go. I hope they would have known this when they scheduled everything. Even though its only a few more weeks It will seem like the longest weeks of my life.
