10 days and counting till surgery August 1 not that far away

4 weeks post op today.

This is my third (and final) WLS. I had lap-band, then Realize Band; both of which I had complications. The Dr. wanted me to get the plication, but insurance would not cover it. So, I got RNY instead. I have lost 20 pounds already, but I was not too over weight to begin with. I am now at 195 and plan on losing 15-20 pounds of fat while putting on some muscle.

Hi guys! 61years old. 5'9" BMI of 43, starting weight of 300. Found out my insurance does not cover WLS. Will be trying to change insurance at the beginning of next year to get coverage. I started my six month nutritionist supervised diet to have that out of the way by year end. Have sleep apnea, high bp, reflux,bad knees and prediabetic. Have lost 40 lbs in the first three months, but have a hundred to go and will need WLS to make that happen. I was wondering if there were any other guys in these forums. Glad to see there are a few of us here. Will keep you posted on my quest to get insurance coverage and get my surgery scheduled.

Hi smith and welcome to the family! There are a lot of insurance companies that cover wls. Insurance companies are driven by economic statistics and the bottom line is that it's cheaper for them to pay for wls than it is to pay for the medical expenses associated with obesity and the co-morbidities that go along with it, sooner or later. Please keep us updated on your search!!
