I'm sure this has been asked and everyone heals different, but ladies compared to a c section incision which was worse for you? Sent from my SM-G900R4 using the BariatricPal App

Yeah easy fix they need to change the date of service Sent from my SM-G900R4 using the BariatricPal App

Just curious why one would chose one over the other? Other than talking to your surgeon and hearing their advice? I have not yet started the process but want to have what I want in mind when I go!

What insurance did you have?

I'm going through the same thing. I found out before what my new insurance will need and started the supervised 6 month dieting. The new insurance said as long as everything is documented they will accept it. Call Aetna meritain and see if they will accept the documents. Also what company offers awesome insurance that covers bariatric on both plans?!! Sent from my SM-G900R4 using the BariatricPal App

A total weight gain? Like you weighed more at your final weigh in than you did when you started? Or did you gain a pound or so while doing your weigh ins?

Why would a surgeons office even schedule surgery without the approval? Or maybe schedule it further out until they know for sure? Just curious if this happens often?

I have the same issue right now. My insurance now doesn't cover so I'm going to my pcp for supervised dieting until I switch in Jan. Aetna said they will take the information from the 6 months. I would call Bcbs Sent from my SM-G900R4 using the BariatricPal App

Most insurance 40 bmi with no comorbids is what they require. I'm at 42.6 with no comorbids. trying to lose a pound a month lol Sent from my SM-G900R4 using the BariatricPal App

I too am concerned with this and cannot get a straight answer from the insurance company. So ask the surgeon and ask the insurance.

So you got approved even with gain on one appt? Sent from my SM-G900R4 using the BariatricPal App

Oh ok you can definitely do it. I was thinking 3 days no way! But its how bad you want it too. I wouldn't want to come this far and be denied because of that. Sent from my SM-G900R4 using the BariatricPal App

15th like Saturday? Sent from my SM-G900R4 using the BariatricPal App

Yeah some policies say no net gain so I'd say check your policy. Do whatever it takes to lose that weight!! Ijs Sent from my SM-G900R4 using the BariatricPal App

I just spoke with the surgeons office and she said my plan Aetna ppo said no weight gain at all. Take laxatives and starve yourself now!!!

I am not on the insurance that covers it until January so I haven't seen the surgeon yet. So my question is if I start in January then have to do 90 days of appointments about when am I looking at a possible surgery? Pending I am approved of course?

Do the surgeons at Bailey require a weight loss once you start the program with them? I know some surgeons require you lost weight prior to them submitting to insurance. I am on the borderline bmi with no cormibs.

So you just can have a total net gain? You can't weight more than your first weigh in?

You will owe the remainder of the out of pocket est $1500. I would try asap to get it done since you almost met it all.

Also do they suggest what surgery they think you should have or is it your personal preference? Sent from my SM-G900R4 using the BariatricPal App

Does Bailey require you to have a sleep study regardless of insurance? Sent from my SM-G900R4 using the BariatricPal App

I have been going to my pcp for 3 months because my insurance now doesn't cover bariatric until January so I think it's ok to go to your pcp. Sent from my SM-G900R4 using the BariatricPal App

They go by your original weight of what? I have not seen the surgeon but started the 6 month with my pcp and weighed in?
