My evaluation was a $25 co-pay, 10 minute conversation over the phone. Easy peasy. She just asked me maybe 30 questions all regarding wls, and that was it.

Wow, that's scary! What I did was called my insurance company and asked which doctor they recommend I use. United Health Care has a Bariatric department so they recommended my nutritionists and the psychologist. To anyone not at this phase yet, your insurance company can be a valuable resource.

Good luck to you Lauren and I wish you a speedy approval! ;)

I see you did use your insurance company. My apologies I missed this page! But I agree with VSG Ann, some things you just can't skimp on. But hey, you live and learn. I hope you're approval is on the way!

UPDATE!!!!

I went BACK today to see the psych doctor and FINALLY he will be sending in the evaluation with his "stamp of approval" today. I also got an email from my primary care provider. She is resending her approval today. Apparently she sent it at our last appointment but it didn't get to the right person. All of my test results are in the system and I know that for sure because I can actually see them in the patient portal. Now I'm just waiting on confirmation that my cardiologist sent her part in and I'm good to go for insurance approval. Whooohooo!

So glad you got this straightened out. So, you're unemployed but have insurance that will pay for WLS? Good for you!

Yes! I have Amerihealth DC which is a medicaid managed care program. They paid for a friend of mine to have gastric bypass some years ago so I knew they would pay for it for me too.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.
