Topic: Denial Molina

Just got my denial from Molina.  They said I did not meet the guide lines.  What?  They said I did not have any co-morbidities, well, my bmi was over 40 and I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood sugar, etc.  They also said I never had any pulmonary studies done when they had to pre auth the Dr. who did my pulmonary studies!!!!! I actually had all of the material sent in twice.  Once via the mail and once via fax with a confirmation.  What a bunch of garbage, I tell ya.  I have been going round and round with all of this since January and would really like to have it over all ready.  Anyone else dealt with Midwest Bariatrics and Molina?

Thanks, Tami

Topic: RE: Anyone have a hysterectomy after rny?

I DID!  I also gained a bit of weight, had high stress/anxiety and problems with alcohol.  Is this due to the hysterectomy????  I don't know.  I assume the weight gain is from the alcohol and less exercise.  But it could be connected.

Anyone else know????????

Topic: insurance that covers weight loss surgery?
Anyone in the Milwaukee area that works for a company that offers great insurance that does cover weight loss surgery? I'm at a point after having Gastric Bypass where my job doesn't offer insurance and even if I were to get insurance through this employer...the insurance does NOT cover Baractric Services. I work an a memory care facility as an Activities Coordinator. Anyone activities people out there who have good insurance?!

Help!!

Topic: plastic surgery

I'm 2 years out from surgery.  I've lost about 180 pounds.  I have quite a large amount of excess skin that hangs over my belt.  Always in the way.  I'm considering having it removed.  Have any of you been through this?  I'd like to hear the good, the bad and the ugly about it.  I'm also interested in where you had it done.  I had my gastric bypass done at Columbia St. Mary's in Milwaukee with the most wonderful team you could ever ask for.....however I am about 170 miles from there so I would definitely consider any recommendations you may have.  Thanks so much!

You're welcome! I hope you found the information you needed.

(I see you're from Lakewood. My grandparents had a cottage in Lakewood and I grew up going to Lakewood and Townsend... right on Wheeler Flowage. One of my favorite areas.)
