Hi thanks for responding. My insurance Provider is Colorado Medicaid. Do you know the best way for me to go about getting my qualifications done. I’m just trying to make sure they don’t have a reason to deny me. So I’d like to know what my doctor should be having me do during my appointments and what the insurance companies like to see.

What testing and X-rays? I was only made aware of a mental health exam. When did you get started and did you see a nutritionist at all?

Congratulations I’m so happy for you! What insurance do you have and what we’re all the things you had to for approval? I have Medicaid and I’m in my second month of supervised weight loss regimen. I’m so scared I’m not gonna get approved or it’s gonna take forever to get scheduled

Hi all! I’m new to this forum and I’m so happy I’ve found it. I have had 2 appointments so far with my PCP for weight loss and next Friday 12/08 I meet for the first time with a nutritionist. I have 4 more scheduled weight loss appointments with my PCP and I wanted to know what else I need to do or what else I need to maintain. I have Medicaid as my insurance and I’ve been told it’s very hard to jump through all their hoops for the gastric sleeve surgery. So basically I’m just asking ahead to cover myself and do all that they will ask of me because my PCP doesn’t seem very knowledgeable to me although he’s done these types of appointments before he hasn’t had much experience with Medicaid dealing with this. Any advice would be helpful. After I’ve met the criteria for Medicaid how long does it take for them to approve or deny and if approved how long does it take usually to actually have the surgery?
