My first stop was with Dr. Soong it didn't go well at all I was told that m uh insurance didn't cover the procedure but after being frustrated and contacting my insurance company myself I found out that it actually was but the surgery center he use didn't accept my insurance so I researched and found Blossom Bariatrics and that was the best thing ever. It is a one doctor practice who is flipping amazing from the staff to the cleanliness and modernized off to the state of the art equipment and an excellent track record. Come to find out I am covered at 100% and only had to do a 3 month weight supervision and seeing the nutritionist and psychologist which was in inclusive in his practice no running around and no extra fees minus the copay and pre op class. I am on my way to being sleeved and started my pre op diet yesterday which I found out is better than a lot of other doctors regimen because I can still eat 1 meal in the evenings of lean meat and veggies. I hope you get to the ending point soon best wishes to you!

Hi, im in Vegas also. What insurance do you have?

You make the appt with anyone listed as "center of excellence" also shop around, there were two in my area, I chose the one recommended more by word of mouth, and listed in network, the surgeon can tell you if you will qualify right away depending on BMI and associated health like apnea, pain, etc....... UHC choice approves a high percentage as long as you do at least 3 dietician visits, also I was on a very tight budget and assumed everything was through my insurance, check to see what is included in the deal with the surgeon, you may need money upfront for certain tests, and the dietician, and things come up like Vitamins, and Protein, good luck let me know if you need anything, you can inbox me anytime I check once per day.....

Did you have a copay for the actual surgery? How long did it take for you to get approved? Thanks in advanced.
