I have no idea since I was self pay.

You might want to try posting this in the insurance forum to get more responses. You may also be able to find something if you search "highmark security" under the search function. :)

One of the other ladies at the orientation I went to had that insurance...but it was her 2nd time around. She was saying since she couldnt follow a 6 month diet they made her go back and try again before they approved it. But it might be different with other people...I'm not sure though.

I have tricare so it is very quick. I had my first evaluation on tuesday and my approval was already faxed to them today. She called me to set up my surgery date but i missed the call...so i have like a 5 week wait until my surgery which from what i have heard is extremley fast.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
