Hello, I've always struggled with my weight. 15 years ago I tried Body for Life and kept my weight in check for 8 years by exercising constantly and eating very healthy. A new marriage and menopause and I find that I'm right back where I started. I've tried just about everything and can't seem to lose the weight. I'm seriously thinking about getting a VSG as a tool to help me get back on track. I had an appointment with a recommended surgeons office the second week of June 2015. For the first time in forever I was 3 lbs to light (for a 40 BMI) At my PCP I was 5 pounds heavier than at the surgeons. I have no comorbidities. The PA suggested that I have a sleep study perhaps I would qualify if I have sleep apnea. The first appt. I could get for a sleep study consultation was the first week of July 2015. I met with the doctor he does not believe I have sleep apnea from talking with me. I will do a sleep test at their office tomorrow night. They weighed me and I was 10 lbs heavier than at the surgeons. I called BCBST (tennessee) to find out if I am covered for Bariatric Surgery and the sleep test. The nice young lady stated yes for the sleep test. She said she wouldn't know if I am covered for surgery until the paperwork is submitted. I asked a dozen different questions and each time it came back to it depends on what the surgeons paperwork states. So, do I call the surgeons office and ask to be seen again (I'm over a 40 BMI)? Do I go ahead with the sleep study (for some reason this freaks me out more than the surgery)? Will my insurance think I've gained weight just to qualify? I do not believe I have. I honestly think the scales fluctuate depending on clothing or the time of day. The surgeons office gave me a copy of the requirements from my insurance (I find it odd that I pay my premiums but I cannot get this on my own) A five year history and 6 months dr supervision is required. I have not been over 40 BMI for the past 5 years. Though I have been off and on for at least 5 years. I was on a dr supervised weight loss 6 years ago (using wellbutrin, phentermine and topamax) until I decided I just couldn't function anymore on the mixture. My present dr does not seem to believe in weight loss surgery. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
