Hello I was wondering if anyone with medicaid or without was sleeved at evergreen hospital in Kirkland, WA how was the process? Your experience. Also how do u think I should approach my pcp about bariatric surgery? Im nervous. And I've talked to her 2 years ago about my weight all she said was do a low carb diet etc but I've tried everything imaginable! Atkins hcg drops garncia cambogia weight loss teas juicing every weight loss pill. Etc I just hate being judged. I know bariatric surgery isnt a magic pill but a tool.

Stats:

Hw: 265

5'3

Bmi: 46 ish?

Pcos: hard to lose weight, darken skin in different areas, hair, loss of menstruation its been almost 3 years since I had a cycle .. I don't feel like a woman. I just really want to have my darn cycle. To be healthy. etc. Also feel like I have anxiety and lower back pain badly. And had asthma in middle school. Still feel loss of breath here and there. Sorry for the long and multiple posts. I think the mobile version of this app sucks cuz I cant see every post or thread so yeah. My apologies.

I live right by there but I had my surgery at Puget Sound Bariatric Center in Lynnwood. I had it Oct. 30 and couldn't be happier. Everyone there was super knowledgeable and friendly. My insurance didn't cover the surgery because my bmi was only 31 but they did cover the Nut and Psych. Plus all the blood work. I used my HSA to cover the surgery.

Good luck

I'm here in Bellevue... ❤️evergreen but they kept losing my referral ... So I went to Overlake Metabolic Bariatric center ( at the hospital) they are phenomenal!!! I have a date 1/7/15... Dr Nguyen is very thorough... I have medicare.... Be firm with your pcp that you need this... Tell her Nothing worked...tried all the diets...
