I really need help. I just started a new job and it's time to sign up for my insurance. Called the company to see if my insurance will cover surgery snd they say I have no bariatric services. Is there anyone out there that knows any other way to get help to pay for surgery? I need this for myself and I can't pay it out of pocket. :(

I'm so upset because when I started HR said they thought it was something I'd be able to get. So I had my hopes up.

I can relate to your frustration, I too have insurance with no bariatric benifits, Check with your surgeons to see if they offer discounts and with your local hospital foundations to see if they can help financially. Be sure your HR knows this is not an option and not to tell others it might be. If you work for a health care facility they may offer an employee discount. Good luck. I am selling quilts to pay for mine.

I work in the insurance industry so I kind of can help. What exactly does your benefits say related to Bariatric Services? Like some will say Bariatric Services And Related Treatment Covered etc.??

My insurance doesn't cover Bariatric Services either, but because my BMI is higher than normal they overrode my plan and it is covered. Check with your PCP to see if they can put in a referral to see if they will cover it. Good luck!

I'm not sure what it says exactly. I just know we called the other day to see if it was covered an she said that my company didn't add any bariatric services to our insurance.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
