relax I was freaked out too called all day everyday from the day they submitted until three days later when I got the approval I was so happy and they told me I would more than likely get denied because I didnt do 6mm diet with them but they accepted four months of paper work from my primary doctor who had me on adipex for three months and one month low cal diet they said it didnt have enough compliance i was so worried only to find out i was approved.

I am haveing my scripts processed as we speak through insure nutrition for protien drinks and scar cream with the added bonsus of free vitimins. I have paramount advantage(ohio medicaid). Please post reviews, insurance you have and rather you were denied or approved. I will keep you updated on mines as well!

Anyone having gastric sleeve december 2014? My story I am 26 from Toledo ohio and I have chosen to have the gastric sleeve because I know it will change my life. I went to my first consult with mercy weight management in sept 2014 I was told paramount advantage(medicaid) would cover with 6 month diet. I had four month diet with my primary care provider so I only had to do 2 months with them. I was approved on 11/13/14 and that has been the best news of my life. I went for my EGD yesterday and I have a hernia. I go to my pre op appointment with my suregon matthrew fourman in a few days and I will ask him his plans for the hernia. In addition, I have my precsription processing through ensure nutrition for Proteins shakes, scar cream, and as and added bonsus I was told I would get free vititmins. Two days ago I bought a month supply of vitimins from vitimin shoppe for 39.00 they are bariatric so I will use them for now until I find out what I can get my insurance to pay for. I started this thread so us december sleevers could track our progess, modivate, and offer advice to one another. Good luck to all!

wow thanks what is your insurance if you dont mind me asking?

Im having gastric sleeve.dec 2 i had my doc fax scripts to insure nutrition for Protein vitimins and scar.cream anyone went through them? were you approved?

No i am going through mercy weight managment with.dr matthew fourman

well I am approved today I used 3 month adipex diet and and 1 month no soda low card diet from my doctor and the two months from mercy weight management I have paramount advantage and I approved my surgery is next month im so excited

I feel this same way i am hoping the surgery will help me have a baby good luck

I would have had to pay 150 but i am going through mercy now and they have a program fee of 350 but i am already referred to.them and starting the process. I have paramount advantage so it require 6month diet but i have been on adipex p diet three months and another diet through my doctor so since i already say dietian once there i only have one more month so i am hoping by nov. I am sleeved

I was told on the phone dietian cost 50 before they knew which insurance I had and she said it was 50 dollars it didnt matter what insurance so hopefully she was wrong. Will it take three months before you can have surgery? Thats what he said in seminar but i was already on adipex diet three months prior so I just want to hurry this up.

Hello I am new to the forum as well as the journey to weight loss surgery. Brief introduction I am 26 years old and weighs 295. I just spoke to my insurance company and they let me know I am covered for weight loss surgery (insurance is paramount advantage). I pretty much have to do the same list of things i was given at the toledo promedica seminar. Such as see a dietian for three months which cost 50 dollars out of pocket, talk to a psyc, and have a doctor referral which I already have. I have my referral for mercy dr matthew instead of promedica because I am undecieded. I hope to find somone who has done this in Toledo that has advice. I dont want to have wait three months like with promedica nor pay 50 per visit. However, I dont know the terms of Mercy yet so any help is appreicated. In addition, I am looking for people who are going through this journey that I can relate with. I am up for discussion and looking forward to meeting new people.
