Hello I am new to the forum as well as the journey to weight loss surgery. Brief introduction I am 26 years old and weighs 295. I just spoke to my insurance company and they let me know I am covered for weight loss surgery (insurance is paramount advantage). I pretty much have to do the same list of things i was given at the toledo promedica seminar. Such as see a dietian for three months which cost 50 dollars out of pocket, talk to a psyc, and have a doctor referral which I already have. I have my referral for mercy dr matthew instead of promedica because I am undecieded. I hope to find somone who has done this in Toledo that has advice. I dont want to have wait three months like with promedica nor pay 50 per visit. However, I dont know the terms of Mercy yet so any help is appreicated.

In addition, I am looking for people who are going through this journey that I can relate with. I am up for discussion and looking forward to meeting new people.

Hi I am going through Promedica/ with DR White I receive my surgery date Wed.I didn't have to pay 50.00 co pay I guess it depends on your Ins. I have a friend that went through Mercy. Hers did seem to be a little sooner than mine

I was told on the phone dietian cost 50 before they knew which insurance I had and she said it was 50 dollars it didnt matter what insurance so hopefully she was wrong. Will it take three months before you can have surgery? Thats what he said in seminar but i was already on adipex diet three months prior so I just want to hurry this up.

I have went through all of my dietician and pysch appointments. Did you have to send in paper work before your first app I did maybe that is how they figure what you have to pay. I have not had to pay a penny.Yes it does take about three monthes. I was suppose to have my surgery today but it was delayed because of something they found in a ct scan. I will get my new date Wed.Probably about three more weeks.

I would have had to pay 150 but i am going through mercy now and they have a program fee of 350 but i am already referred to.them and starting the process. I have paramount advantage so it require 6month diet but i have been on adipex p diet three months and another diet through my doctor so since i already say dietian once there i only have one more month so i am hoping by nov. I am sleeved

well I am approved today I used 3 month adipex diet and and 1 month no soda low card diet from my doctor and the two months from mercy weight management I have paramount advantage and I approved my surgery is next month im so excited
