Honestly, I'd love to just talk to ANYONE right now - been there, done that, about to do it, etc! I am having surgery September 22nd in Mobile, AL with Dr. Dusty Smith. I am loving this site. Looking forward to hearing from y'all!

Hey There!

I was just curius to know what Co-morbities you have and how was your approval process with your Insurance compant.

Hi! They moved me back a day so I am now scheduled for September 23rd. When I started the process I had no comorbidities but was diagnosed with high blood pressure during my 6 months of supervised weight loss visits with my pmd. My pmd also thinks I have sleep apnea but my insurance won't pay for a sleep study. I have BCBS of AL and they required 6 months of supervised weight loss visits as well as a certain minimum bmi. I didn't get approved the first time but was the second time we sent in the paperwork. Feel free to pm me! Where are you in your journey?
