I called and they told me they would send me the info on it, days later I still haven't received it. But they read off to me exactly what I have listed. I'm still just so confused about it all. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey all! I'm new to this community as well as to gastric sleeve surgery. I have been thinking about this procedure for months now, and finally after researching it, i've decided to go ahead with it. I contacted my insurance company, which is Highmark, BCBS of PA and this is what i've concluded is needed: BMI - over 40. Age of 18 and over. 6 visits (1 visit per month) with my doctor, who will monitor my weight and exercise regime. A psych eval. A nutritionist visit. Anyone know if there is anything else I need, or have left out? I need some help with this. Also, is it ONE visit to a nutritionist? Also, how will my doctor be "monitoring" my exercise? I can see weight, whether it increases or decreases each month. I live in PA, so those are the specifics i've researched, anyone else have any input? Help!
