Hi there! I live in Eugene. I have not started on my journey to surgery yet. I just switched doctors and am hoping to ask her to refer me on my next appointment April 25th..super nervous about it! What insurance do you have?

I have trillium health care, I am still pre op hope to get sleeve in may or june

Do you know what the requirements are to be approved? I have trillium as well

you need a bmi of over 35 which I seen on your profile that you do

it is easier if you have other weigh related problems diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep abnea, joint pain ect

you need to show that you tried to loss weight through diets and failed

you will need to go see the diettion for 6 months

for more info call

Bridgette Wiley at the oregon bareatic center

(541) 222-2700 she can answer all your questions about insurance requirments

and you should go to the info seminar the have every month

I am getting the sleeve which works great with less problems than the other weight loss suregies (WLS)
