Hi there, has anyone out there has any experience with MVP in Rochester? I'm curious about what their pre qualifications for the sleeve. Thank you!!

Thank you for the reply

After years of consideration I am finally ready to change my life with the gastric sleeve! I will be joining my husbands insurance plan (MVP) in January which does cover the surgery (with approval) but my current plan does not. I am scheduled to go to my first seminar on July 27th as I want to learn more from the surgeon team who would be performing mine as well as get this ball rolling!!

Has anyone had experience with this? Can I start the process now (NUT and other appointments out of pocket) and then have my new insurance cover he surgery at the new year?

Also, re: the BMI requirement. Is this based on your BMI at the beginning OR after pre-op diet requirement? In other words, if I lose 5% and that brings me just under the 40 requirement (39) would I then be disqualified?

Any insight or info on your past experiences would be so helpful.

Thank you!!
