Well I just found this group--which is fabulous!!-- and wanted to ask for prayers for God's will. Yes, although I have what I think I want, I'd rather ask for His perfect will for this journey. I've gone through what I need to to submit my first try into the insurance company. I am hoping that they don't require a 6 month diet or if they do they will take my previous documented 2, 3 month diets. I really want/need to have my surgery before the end of the year as I am already off of work for another surgery. Prayers please for Oct. 31st when I have hand surgery. I hope it helps me.

I never meant to offend anyone with this thread. I was simply asking for recommendations and then information about charges different doctors had. Thanks everyone for your input.

Lol! I want new boobs after this. I haven't been sleeved but I can imagine after baby and then losing a lot of weight.

You look great--so much younger!!

You can't tell your secret lol! Wifey won't like.

Oh ok. I'm in the Bay area.

What part? Cali here too

That's great!! Question-- have you had any issues of loose skin? If not, do you think the px90 is helping?

Thanks for the reply... It's been a week since I saw surgeon so I'm going to call Monday to see i they submitted paperwork to UHC or when they will.... Crossing fingers they approve! (Without 6 month -- but having 2, 3 month dieting records)

Hmm that's interesting. I'm bipolar and now after years of not being diagnosed, finally receives the right medical attention for it and am learning how to accept it. I asked my Psych evaluator why her forma and Dr. Forms asked if you are bipolar as i haven't seen that on any other Dr. Forma before--always depression, anxiety, etc. is all I ever see. She said that they look out for those who may be showing signs of mania and are not psychologically able to make a decision. My Dr. Didn't even make mention of it.

You look great! Like a completely different person. Just your face looks so much happier

Hi, I am still in stage of getting my ins. Approved but wanted to find out from other mid-20 yr olds loosing 80-90 lbs. IF you had loose skin and what helped to prevent it or are you doing anything now that is helping?

Hi all, Well I won't know until end of Oct/beginning Nov if my UHC HRA Plus insurance will approve my sleeve w/only showing my past failed diets and 5 yr history. To be prepared just in case they say I need 6monyh diet... Has anyone been approved with using 2 --3 month diets at least 2 yrs within current date? Did u have to go to NIT/Dr for notes? Or could you use online diet logs/weight?

Is this the UHC plan that doesn't require 6 month diet?

Oh boy... This makes me nervous! I called and my psych was out of network so i know i'll be stuck with paying 40% of bill but I never asked about consult--figured it was just covered as a specialist appt. I have UHC though.

Did you have to do 6 month diet? I was told UhC has 2 plans - 1 that requires this and 1 that requires 5 yr weight history.... I'm PRAYING mine is the later. My coordinator is going to list my bmi of 40 w/2 com. Plus 5 yrs of weight history along with dietician visit, consult, recommendation medical necessity, and pysch eval next week. She said we should hear back within 2 weeks and will find out what they say.

How did you get ins. Approval so fast? What ins. Do you have?

Can I ask how much you paid?
