Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  Worried!!!!  Hi everyone, I'm super worried my date was pushed back due them giving me a date on a major holiday. And my insurance is acting all funny towards what doctors have I seen for the psych evaluation and all kinds of stuff. Now i'm super worried about them not approving my surgery date in time!!! Has anyone had a date by their surgeon and then denied? Thanks for listening! Silkz

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  The surgeon typically wont give you a date without approval.They are probably just asking routine questions.Have faith! Hope you get a complete approval soon. God Bless and Merry Christmas..

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Actually I am not officially approved yet, but have had my date for almost 2 months. My doc requires me to lose 10% of my weight pre-op and do this by using only 5 medifast shakes daily (450 cal. total and I started 12-19-07) until the day before my surgery when I go to clear liquids. My insurance company requires me to lose 5% of my weight pre-op, and I need a 'clearance' from my family doc. I have that appt. on 1-7-08 and I'm only 4-5 pounds form being 5% down. I asked my docs office how likely is approval and she said with my insurance company (MVP), they respond in 24-36 hours and denial is extremely rare, and not a surprise. This is all they do, so they would know. Just ask your doctors office about approval and maybe they can ease your fears. Good luck! Kelly

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Did they give you the names of people who will do the test? If your care provider doesn't know (but they should if they do this all the time), then call the insurace company and ask them for the exact test name and who does it. Then call those people ASAP to schedule the appt and explain your urgent situation. I'll be thinking about you, keep us posted.
