Hey, good luck! How are you? Keep in touch

Congrats to both of you! Good luck!!!!

Stay positive! Cross fingers for you and me!!

I'm sure that you will be approved, you will see!!! They are supposed to be strict, but I was reading for a very longggggggg time and its more easy than you think ... If you meet the criteria you will be approved, with your bmi you don't need comorbidities...in my case, my bmi is 35 ( boderline!), and I have diabetes, hbp, and high cholesterol. ...but I'm very nervous because my bmi is low, well we see.....good luck!!!! Btw, its the same insurance that we have???

I'm scare too!! Lol I just have too see the nut 2 times, and in between the process had a gallblader surgery (august 7)... I'm very nervous too, when your surgeon office submitted your documents? Mine was this week...

Hi, I live in MA and my insurance is Neighborhood Health Plan with Masshealth...I think it's the same insurance..? Well, if it is, they don't require a 6 months of supervised diet, just the normal requirements.... Bmi of 40 ( no comorbidities), or 35-39 with one comorbidity. You need a referral from your pcp for your first surgeon appointment. ...I'm waiting the insurance approval! If you have any question let me know! Good luck!

Thank you!

I hope I will sleeve in Oct...keep my fingers crossed for the insurance approval! Best wishes for all of you!!!

I'm so happy for you!!!!! Congrats!!!

Thank you! I have a lot of anxiety. ...

I'm in the waiting "time"....how you know you was approved? The insurance called you? Dr office? Approval letter? Did you called your insurance or surgeon office???

Im so sad for you....sorry. Appeal?

Hola!! Vamos a presentarnos segun nos unamos a nuestro grupo? Empiezo yo, tengo 38 años y soy nacida en Puerto Rico. Actualmente resido en la coste este de los Estados Unidos con mi esposo y mis dos hijos. Desde que cumplí los 18 años siempre he tenido una lucha constante con tratar de mantener un peso saludable y no "engordar". Dietas, ejercisios, pastillas, medicinas, hasta pastillas chinas q a saber que contenian. Hace tres años tuve mi baby y aumenté tanto de peso que aun no he podido bajarlo, y me di cuenta que necesitaba ayuda. Desde principios de éste año empezé a leer y estudiar todo sobre la cirujia bariátrica. Tomé la decisión de buscar un cirujano y empezar mi lucha para operarme. Actualmente terminé todo el proceso pre operatorio con mi cirujano, y estoy en espera que mi seguro médico me apruebe. A la misma vez, he mirado la alternativa de operarme en Mexico si mi seguro no me aprueba. Soy "lightweight", mi BMI es 35, y padezco de alta presión, alto colesterol y diabetes 2. Vamos a contar nuestras historias, gracias por leer!!!

I hope so!!!!! Good luck!

I got it, so good for me!

Me too!!!!! I'm waiting the call!

Really hurts.... I always try to hide my belly "area" with my handbag.... Well hang in there, thanks for the support, I see Im not alone, good luck to all! Anyone that had the surgery done, how is the weight loss in the belly area? slow?

Best wishes!!!!

Good luck!!!! Who is your doc??

Actually the people who ask me are "women"

I'm very sick and tired that the people ask me if I'm pregnant! No, I'm not pregant, I'm fattttttttttttttttttttttt! At this point, I dont like to go to any place, I feel deppresed, and this doesnt help me.... I pray every day that my insurance approved my surgery, I'm waiting for a decision... Its horrible when all your fat is in ur belly......... Just vent,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,thanks
