  3. I picked sleeve because I prefer the slower weight loss over a longer period of time because I really would like to work out and minimize the lose sagging skin as much as possible. Besides that, you know how slick people can be when people have weight loss surgery.
  4. Yes, I spoke directly to the representative with Mclaren Medicaid who looks over the cases and approves and she asked me if I am tracking my food and exercise. I am 90% sure I'm going with the sleeve. Don't want to be bothered with the rerouting of my insides and dumping ?
  5. 6 months Documentation of diet and weight loss efforts. Your doctor can document it for you at your appointments but I log my food and exercise into the fitnesspal app just in case
  6. Here are the requirements through Mclaren: 40 + BMI with no comorbidities 35 + with 1 or more 6 months medically supervised with no weight gain Psych evaluation Meeting with nutritionist
  7. I'm in the Metro Detroit Area and will be going with Mclaren per my surgeons recommendation. I am havin Dr Pesta at Mclaren Macomb do my surgery. The program there is great, they hold your hand from start to finish and make sure you have everything you need done. All my records from the doctor, psych eval, nutritionist and everything go directly to the program coordinator and she prepares the file to send to insurance.
