My Bariatric program explained they submit my starting weight. Also, I have Cigna ins and there is no weight loss requirements, however I cannot gain weight during the diet period. Sent from my KFSAWI using the BariatricPal App

Yes, I'm seeing Dr. Rydlewicz at Aurora. I just went to meet the nutritionist yesterday. I have to do a 3-month weight loss program and that just started yesterday. I'll be having the sleeve. Sent from my KFSAWI using the BariatricPal App

Awesome! Thank you Sent from my KFSAWI using the BariatricPal App

I went for my consult today, and I am very excited about this journey. When I got home tonight, I see the clinic has my height an inch higher, which now puts me below 40 BMI. Grrrrrrrrr...... I'm hoping I can just call on Monday and have it fixed. Otherwise, insurance will only cover me if I'm 40 and up since I don't have any cormobidities. Anyone else have any troubles like this?

I do too! I hope we both get it. Sent from my KFSAWI using the BariatricPal App

Thank you, everyone. I wasn't sure how that was determined, or if certain surgeries require a higher BMI or other parameters. Sent from my KFSAWI using the BariatricPal App

Just went to the initial seminar and scheduled the consult. Wondering if I can decide which of the surgeries I want to have, or is it solely up to the surgeon to make that decision? Thanks! Sent from my KFSAWI using the BariatricPal App
