I have a BMI of 37 one day 38 the next. I have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea and hypertension. I have complted my consult with the surgeon, dietician, and psych evaluation done. I have completed the six month supervised diet. I have a letter of surgical nesessity from my GP and from my foot specialists, I will be getting another letter from the doctor that i weighed with monthly. I have requested my medical records, I have requested information form the sleep center. I feel as though there is something else I should be trying to do! Please tell me what I am missing! I want to make sure that my t's are crossed!!! Any advice will be very helpful! (Sorry about spelling)

It really depends on your insurance. I have fep blue and I just found the policy outline online and looked up my requirements there. Good Luck!! :) I am pre-op too and I am seriously obsessing too!!

I agree with Ashley I think it depends on your insurance. The best thing to do is contact them directly and ask for the requirements. Good luck!

Pre-op here as well. Surgery is scheduled for Monday! biggrin.gif

As long as you provide everything they require, you should be approved!

Seems like you have everything! GOOD LUCK!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
