Hello All!

I'm new to this but I'm currently in the process of getting the gastric sleeve. I have HealthNet ACHCCCS and was wondering if anybody else has the same insurance and has been approved? I'm just nervous that something could go wrong once it is set off to insurance.

Thank You!

I have ahcccs university family care and was approved within 24 hours of the surgeon submitting my paperwork. Surgery date was scheduled for less than 2 weeks after approval and all went wonderfully. Not a single issue or concern!

My surgeon said something that helped me. If you complete ALL of your requirements, there is no way ahcccs will deny you.

6 month visits. Luckily they took months that I had seen my doc before the consultation with the surgeon and I had seen her for other things 3 consecutive months prior. So my process was only 2 1/2 months after my consultation.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
