Consultation

When I went in for my consultation they told me I needed to lose 50 pounds before I had the surgery. The reason I was there is because I can't even lose 10 pounds! Was anyone else told this? Also wondering if anyone went to Geisinger in Danville, PA and if they had Geisinger insurance.

    Wow, really? I can maybe see it if you were over 500 pounds but you're only 273 pounds! That's nuts. I would look for a different doctor.

    It tookme 9 months to lose 50lbs. That's a lot to be expected. I would personally write a letter to theinsurance company. Did your surgeon or insurance or PCP tell you that?
