You know I'm honestly not sure if it is choice plus. We got this insurance for the first time it honestly confuses me haha. I currently gave the gastric band and need to have it removed due to horrible reflux etc and I am curious to know if anyone has had to do the whole six month pre surg requirements again since I have technically already done it first time around. :(.

Your best bet is to get it in WRITING... This is a copy of mine:

UMR’s Guidelines for Weight Loss Program

Here are some of the items we request

  • Patient’s current weight, weight, and Body Mass Index (BMI).

  • If BMI 35-39.9, medical record documentation of clinically serious medical conditions, if any, that have been exacerbated by morbid obesity.

  • Documentation of participation in and compliance with a physician led multidisciplinary non-surgical program of at least 6 consecutive months in duration within the past 3 years. This includes a low or very low calorie diet, supervised exercise, behavior modification, and support, with possible medication. Actual progress notes are required. Summary letters will not be accepted.

  • Documentation of a preoperative medical consultation and approval (including thyroid panel with TSH).

  • Preoperative psychiatric consultation and approval.

  • Documentation that the surgical program is experienced in obesity surgery, characterized by surgeons experienced with bariatric surgical procedures and a multidisciplinary approach, including:

· = Copy of certification of ASMBS (American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery) Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence, if applicable.

· = Medical consultation

· = Psychiatric consultation

· = Nutritional counseling

· = Exercise counseling

· = Support group meetings

Great thank you do much for this. I will go online and compare mine. I'm pretty sure it will be the same since its UMR. :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
