with insurance or test?

Different programs have different procedures and requirements. Yours might be different than anyone answering this question. But your next appointment with your surgeon will certainly give you some idea. You may be required to lose some weight before surgery.

I had to have a variety of other tests--upper GI, blood tests, cardio.

I had to do a 6 month program. What program does your insurance have you on?

i have a 6 month program i have after Tuesdays visit like 4 more. but the best person to answer that question is your program. mine gives us a binder at the very start outlining all the steps and things each individual person needs to complete for their surgeon and also the dietary expectations for the program as well as a shopping list i absolutely love my program if anyone wants to know about it or what is in my binder i can take screen shots for you guys

My insurance didn’t require me to have a 6 month program

it only required me to pay 360 for co payment

Hey yes I am losing weight

I get weighed in before every class or doc visits

I lucked out, one of the few if only benefits of being older than dirt (72). Main Medicare requiremen is to have a BMI greater than 40, at 47-49 depending on the table read. Ohio,Medicaid has a few more, a certain # of dietary supervision visits but I fullfilled them also. So,either plan I'm submitted under I'm ever so cool!Tests my program required
Pulmonary-Psychology-Cardiology
Dietary/Nutrition(for medicaid)
Sleep Study/Apnea Evaluation ?

my bmi was at 45 im dwn to 40

i work for the hospital that will be completing my surgery also

my insurance is aetna and its only asking for deductible of 300
