I have an appointment with my regular Dr in a couple days to talk about getting sent out to a bariatric surgeon. I was just hoping if anyone could give me an idea of the requirements Alliance requires for the surgery? I read where you have to be enrolled in Weight Watchers or a similar program in the last 2 years for them to approve it. Any information would be extremely appreciated!

Currently going through the same. With central alliance. Can you tell me what was required for you and where you had yours done?

Hi same person different account [emoji1]


After talking to my Dr I had to do a seminar then they call to make an appointment from the surgeons office after you complete that. They require 6 months of weigh ins and if you miss one they will make you start from the beginning even if it's your last appointment. So make sure you go.


-psych eval


-dietician eval


-history and physical done by primary


-labs


-cardiac clearance


-gi clearence. This one wasn't a normal thing I was already seeing him so that's why it was required.


-support group agreement. That was done when I was given all my paperwork.


- no drug or alcohol clearence letter from primary


- 2 years of primary care records


- a nutrion class


- a hospital wellness class


After they get all that they submitted it and it was 2 weeks later I got the call to schedule. Then 2 weeks after that I had my surgery. I had mine done in Modesto.
