Josh you are going to do great!!! Today is the beginning of the rest of your life! Thinking of you today!

I used to work on 7T at MCW which is my main reason for not wanting to go there.

Congrats!!! I have Aetna too, hope I have the same luck!

I have Aetna I'm curious how they are going to be through this process.

What insurance company do you have?

The reason for no caffeine for 24 hours is because likely they will do an EKG. Caffeine can skew those results.

Lammy were you self pay?

I'm so excited!!! I can't imagine how you are feeling right now!!! Prayers that everything goes great!!

I'm working with OSU also! I have a long way to go just at the beginning of things. Psych eval is 2/14!!! Can't wait. Any advice or updates would be greatly appreciated!!!

I'm in columbus, going to The Ohio State medical center....anyone else?

Congrats to you!!!! How exciting! Thanks for the info.

Hello everyone, my name is Ashley. I'm at the beginning of this process. So far I have scheduled my psych eval and sent all paperwork to the surgeon. My insurance requires: *BMI of 40 Or 35 with co morbidity *90 or 180 day weight management program *2 years documented weight issue. I'm so concerned about being denied on the last requirement of documented obesity. I've been obese for 16 years. However I've been a fairly healthy person and not many dr visits. Does anyone know if this 2 year time has to be documented with 1 physician or can it also be previous family dr, ob/gyn, and current family dr? I'm so worried I will be denied over this but actually have been overweight for so much of my life. Any info will help!! Thanks guys!
