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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
