Whats next?

[kristin1980 4]

I meet with my nutritionist and GP for the first time next week. From there the gp will order necessary bloodwork. My question is, whats next? Im so excited and nervous for this journey. I have bcbs of Michigan health insurance, plus medicaid. Im sure there is a 6 month wait?? Any info on what will take place from here on out would be most appreciated. Also, I am 5ft tall and 250 lbs. Any of you similar? If so, can you give me kind of your benchmark goals that youve reached?? Before and after pics? Good luck, God bless, and thank you.

Check your specific insurance plan to see what the exact requirements are. They worst thing would be missing a piece of the puzzle and not finding out until you were close to surgery. I had bcbs anthem and I had a year wait.
They gave me a booklet with what to expect and what the process would be like. Hopefully they will do the same for you. Best wishes!

It really depends on your plan what kind of wait you will have...Some plans require no wait, some 3 months, some 6 months. The only one who can tell you what the requirements are is your insurance company.
