  1. Hello, Is there anyone from Kentucky or Bluegrass Family Health Insurance. I am trying to get my first appointment with Dr Weiss soon at Baptist Health in Lexington, KY but not sure how difficult Bluegrass family Health is going to be regarding coverage of the weight loss procedure?

    Anyone From Kentucky?

    Well, I know there is a waiting list presently for Dr. Weiss. I am in the beginning stages of trying to get the surgery. I am curious on the steps needed to take to achieve surgery. I currently carry bluegrass family health insurance and i know one of the requirements is a documented 7 month weight loss program before surgery (which sucks!). I have had my first appointment with my general practitioner and dr. Ko is fully aware of my interest in surgery, but she did a referral but did not put me on a diet? So my first question is I don't want to wait for Dr Weiss to advise me to go on a supervised diet. Should I just inform my doctor on how long I've been on a diet and maybe she can sign off on my paperwork? My second question is what did you do on your initial visit with Dr. Weiss (ex: weigh in, etc) I don't want to lose too much weight because I know insurance is strict on your BMI before surgery, do they weigh you the day of surgery to make sure your BMI is still a certain number? Do they weigh you on the initial visit with clothes on or off? Thanks for any helpful insight you can give me.

    KENTUCKY Sleevers?!!?

    wondering the process and how long it takes to get approved. I have watched the online seminar and sent in my packet to the Baptist health weight loss (Dr Weiss). Just not sure about Bluegrass Family Health Insurance, if I will get approved or not. did anyone have to do a 6 month supervised diet? I heard some people on the forum discuss a diet they had to follow before their insurance paid?
