Update

I'm down 30 lbs and one size in clothes! 10 more pounds till insurance filed. Janet

Congratulations! Why are you waiting to file insurance?

My surgeon wants me down 40 lbs before they file for insurance and 60 pre-op

Who's your surgeon? This worries because your plan could change, and WLS could become excluded. I always advise people to put in the predeterminations as soon as possible. If you are denied, then you have to time to appeal. If you are approved, you can still lose the weight preop. The lasted medical information I've read shows that there is no benefit of a diet between the time a need for surgery is determined, and the surgery itself.

Thanks for your concern Roberta but I'm not worried about it being approved. My insurance approves WLS. My friend had hers done and got her approval in a matter of days... We rarely get any denials for anything.

wheeeeeeeeew....hoooooooooo! Goo Job. Meso

Wow, Janet. You are one of the lucky ones that doesn't have to worry about an approval. Are there any job openings at your company???
