hi all! If anyone of you have read any of my posts on other topics, you may already know that I have been preparing for this journey for a while now. I got my sleep study done early, and got my c-pap. Have confirmation from the pulmonologist that I am compliant with the machine. I've completed my 6 months PCP supervised diet visits. Now, I'm waiting on my insurance to kick in. I've been in touch with the bariatric center of excellence I will be using, and they told me: More than likely you will only have one diet visit, one visit with our psychologist, and a pre op class. That means, I may be able to get my approval sooner than I thought! Prayers please!

OH! and on more thing, they also told me my insurance is the easiest to deal with and approve everyone. (BMI 40 or 35+ with co-morbids). I think I'm golden!

I am soo happy for you!!! you must have bc/bs...I had 4 plus major health issues as well an BMI was over 40..I had my approval within 48 hrs. I did go thru 3 differ preop classes, the psych evaluation and met with dietician. my endocrinologists had to release me once my thyroid function was in range an me an her worked closely to get that done. then she released me. hang in there!! your almost to the finish line!!! yay!! keep us posted..

I actually have UHC PPO. My hubs BCBS of KC excluded WLS, so I took insurance out thru my job.
