I searched for MMSI when I was first researching WLS options. I wanted some information regarding their requirements and turnaround time, but I couldn't find anything. I've since been approved and want to share my experience.

My particular plan covers 90% since my provider is in-network. There is no coverage for out-of-network. The requirements for coverage are to have a BMI over 40 or a BMI over 35 with one co morbidity, complete a psych evaluation, and attend behavior modification group. There was no supervised diet requirement.

My paperwork was submitted by my doctor's office on July 31st, 2013. I received my approval on August 8th, 2013.

My insurance will be MMSI as of 1/1/2015. I've completed the psych eval and have one session left for the behavior modification. How long of a wait did you have between the end of the modification and getting the surgery date set?

      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.

      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 ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ˜ญ. 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! ๐Ÿ˜ž
