Did you have to lose 10% of your weight? Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App

Hunny....let me tell you. I am a nurse and I don't care what people say...I will tell them until they walk in my shoes then they can talk.....you don't have to tell anyone. It's none of their business. Weight loss surgery is not easy as people think it is. Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App

Did they tell you why you were denied? Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App

I started nutrition classes with a weight loss clinic. I can't get in to see my PCP until June which will push me back a month. How about the 5 years of weights. I have a new PCP...should I request weights from other doctors? Never had a PCP. The financial counselor told me I had to pay 868.00 before my surgery. My psych eval is 475...without bcbst and 585 dollars....with bcbst... Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App

I agree....if I could lose 30 pounds. I could continue to lose on my own. So I'm going to try...but not try as hard...maybe 10 or 15 pounds. What about the nutrition classes? Do these have to be with my PCP? Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App

I am just beginning this wls journey. I have BCBST and my surgeon told me I have to lose 10% of my body weight....but as I read the requirements online, it says I have to show failure to lose or maintain the 10% weight loss with conservative means. Did you lose the 10%? Were you approved for surgery? Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App And yes it does say failure to lose or maintain 10% of your body weight. I did question that and both the MD office and the insurance company talked as if I was crazy.... Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App

That was another question...I have started nutrition classes with a weight loss clinic. Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App
