I am trying to figure out how long I have to do the medically supervised diet. I have had one program tell me 6 months and I have had another program tell me 3 months. Has any gone through the surgery with this insrance have any idea what it is. I am really just tried of waiting for the surgery and want to do it the quickest way possible.

I am not familiar with Kentucky's Medicaid but most I've heard of have a 6 month. That said I just learned recently,were I had to fall back on Ohio, Medicaid instead of my primary Medicare it would be 3 months. My son is on Caresource. Were he seeking bariatric surgery which at this point he's not, they mandate a 9 month track, a different period of time yet.[emoji25] And we're we in Canada or the UK, 2 places with universal health care, the times usually,are a lot longer. That's why many Canadians out of frustration, go to Mexico and the UK goes to Europe because its faster.[emoji7]

Medicaid in CT requires 6 nutritional visits, an upper endoscopy, GERD testing , Bloodwork (fasting), PCP, Barium Swallow test, Cardiologist visit, TWO support group meetings within the six months, food tracking for six months...um

I think I left stuff out but that’s what some of the stuff is required for the office I’ve been going to

Did you ever think maybe they plan for us to jump through these hoops to,prove we are truly commuted? The weakwilled will say Well **** them I'm not going to do this. Then they either give up for awhile or they fly to Mexico to get it done sooner. I did,almost all the same as your list, I had a pulmonary instead of barium swallow, an extra EKG and a sleep evaluation. None of these were because of my advanced age, just required by surgeon or insurance. Some places insist on a life style coach or personal trainer, mine didn't.[emoji14]

I think it’s to have another diagnosis to fall back on for insurance to be approved.. for example if you have no medical issues but you’re morbidly obese you’re chances of getting approved for surgery is slim to none.

I have FL Medicaid WellCare and the requirement is 6 month weight maintenance but with that being said if you go to your pcp or other doctors monthly, you will be able to use those months. They must be consecutive. You can even use programs like weight watchers, and Jenny Craig
