Do you know what your insurance covers regarding weightloss surgery? I would find that out first as it really has to do more with your insurance than the doctor. The doctor factor will be more so in network vs out of network. I am having my surgery on Wed with Dr. Lusco at St. Mary's & Elizabeth. I would suggest a seminar to find out more. I have been to Norton's and St. Mary's seminars and they are able to answer a lot of those type questions. Dr. Lusco's practice only in considered "in network" for one insurance and I think it is Humana (but not 100% sure). Take care, hope I was helpful.

Sorry, I don't have Anthem Medicare, however I have Blue Cross/Blue Shield. I have denied twice because they are still requesting 6 month hystory of a clinical supervised weight loss system. My PCP has submitted hystory of me, taking Adipex (diet pill). The information he submitted, has the date, weight and blood pressure. This information has shown that the Weight loss system did not work on me, however insurance still not satisfied. It's so frustating!!!

Does anyone out there have a similar situation?suggestions? Please!!!!!!!!!!!

Many people go through the 6 month process once they have already found a doctor to perform the surgery. Have you been to a seminar yet? They are usually really good at walking you through the insurance hoops for the 6 month diet. Many doctors have templates to use with your PCP to help in getting all the information the insurance companies require. Good luck

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
