Is it possible? Everything says that they prefer to repair post WLS (do to possible infection from surgical mesh).

Hi I'm new ! I was referred for WLS, right now I am going thru the motions, waiting to hear from MediCal/Partnership. Are there anyone here that was sucessful having WLS with these forms of CA Medicaid programs?? Sidenote: I am 5 foot 9, current weight 255, recently diagnosed with diabetes type 2 and high cholesteral lipids. I read that to be elegible for Insurance to pay for WLS, I have to diet for 6 months. Will I end up dieting my way from elgibility? My current BMI is I believe 36-37, and the minimum BMI for insurance/surgery is 35......do they count your weight/BMI from the beginning of the program, or from your current weight (after weight loss) ? I hope that someone understands what i mean out there!! Thanking you in advance for any answers. ♡

Thanks for the info, clarification : were you Able to have the VGS BEFORE. The hernia repair? I am so afraid that it can't be done.....

Thank you for the info! ♡
