I had your same problem only worse. I ended up having a hysterectomy but before I could I had to get an Iron infusion which brought my blood and iron levels up fast and allowed me to have my surgery without even needing a blood transfusion. So look into getting an iron infusion. You will want to see a hematologist first this. Sent from my SM-N920T using the BariatricPal App

I know someone personally that is getting surgery through the Affordable care act! Her surgery is this month. She asked which plan covers weight loss surgery before she purchased insurance. It does pay, you just have to pick the right coverage. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App No, it doesn't always pay. There are absolutely NO individual ACA policies that cover WLS in Idaho. And before ACA I had $30 dr visit copays, my deductible was $1500 and my monthly premium was $220. So I stand by my original sentiment.It's your state's fault. If the law in your state says bariatric surgery is considered an essential health benefit than it must be covered under your obamacare health insurance. Idaho doesn't consider it an essential health benefit. Talk to your lawmakers. http://www.bariatric-surgery-source.com/obamacare-weight-loss-surgery.html Sent from my SM-N910T3 using the BariatricPal App

So thru my hubby's employer our BCBS of TX only requires 4 months supervised diet, 2 informational classes that the hospital conducts, a psychological eval and a letter from my pcp. I'm super happy about this. Doesn't seem unreasonable. Sent from my SM-N910T3 using the BariatricPal App
