Does anyone have Ochener health plan (OHP) of Louisiana Total health Choise?
I am 5 days postop lap band. Going to the seminars is of great help in getting info gathered before going to the md for referal. 2 major illness are usually required, best documented diagnosis thru your pcp. Approval for me with a complete diet failure history resulted in rather quick approval. It will depend on your policy. The office personnel at the seminars are very knowledgable of insurances that approve Bariatric surgeons.
I am 12 days post op and have lost 10 lbs. I am pleased with the results so far. I am still on soft foods but have found a good variety and staying with low carbs and low fat and low sugar. I stayed home a week and return to work yesterday and doing fine. Protein had to be your priority for this to work. I had approval rather quick with Ochsner. Did you have your psych eval yet? That was a requirement also.
