Any info on your process with insurance is great I have emblem health so went with that but if you are in NY and have insurance please list your requirements and process since the day you first started.

Hi,

I'm new here and I have read a few boards and I see everyone is beyond helpful in some way. I'm 25 years old and live in Westchester, NY. I went for my seminar December 10, 2014

And have my first appointment with the surgeon January 23☺️was wondering for those in NY with emblem health how long after your first appointment did you get a date? What are the pre surgical requirements that need to be completed beforehand? Thanks so much!!

Yes I did! I refused to get botched up Lolz. He's really good and thorough in his pre ops. I know ppl personally who got it done by him. @@cruummbs

That's good!!!!!

@@cruummbs did they provide you a list of things to take to the hospital? And how long is the hospital stay? I hate hospitals Lolz

Hey there... I'm in the process myself... this is what I have to do:

Cardiologist Clearance

Pulmonary Clearance

Endocrinologist Clearance

Psych Clearance

See a nutritionist

. Hello Harley I'm also with emblem health care in NYC, my requirements were as follows 3 month supervised diet,co morbidities such as sleep apnea, diabetes I believe you need one or more of these and your good if you don't have these issues than you need a BMI of 40+,cardiac clearance (I have clogged arteries) if you google emblem health/bariatric surgery the page of requirements should come up in a PDF format. Hope this helps and Good Luck on your journey.

Emblem requires 4 weigh ins. Your 2nd consult you should get a surgery date..if your on top of your game you should get surgery date in 4months...
