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

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
