Teaneck, NJ! I'm from West New York originally though Did any of you use WellCare? Or currently using that insurance? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey Kathy, I just switched over to WellCare but still haven't received my card yet. How was the process with that insurance? What did they require and how long did the entire process take? Any info you could give me would be extremely helpful! I hope you're having a great day! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey, I just switched over to WellCare because the Surgeon I want accepts it. Have any of you started your journey with this insurance or have you already had the surgery? What was the timeframe from the beginning until post-op? Do you have any tips? Please let me know, thank you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey I'm from Teaneck, NJ...I'm just starting this whole process! I'm going to attend a seminar tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi everyone, I also came across this forum while researching. I already spoke to my PCP about it and he referred me to a surgeon and I'm attending a seminar tomorrow! What should I expect? I was diagnosed with PCOS and it's been so hard to lose any weight even if you're doing everything right. It's incredibly frustrating and I don't know what to do anymore and my PCP said that this surgery would definitely help so I'm definitely going based on his recommendation. I switched my insurance because the surgeon I want only takes one type of insurance and once I receive my member card and packet I think I'll be able to schedule a consultation with her. I'm very nervous about this but I'm also excited at the same time! I'm 26, I'm 260 lbs and I''m 5'4" and this is the heaviest I have ever been and I just seem to keep gaining. I would just read through posts but I thought I would get a little more involved and try to get to know more people that might be experiencing some of the doubts, questions, and anxiety that I might have. It's good to know that there are so many nice people in this community!
