im curious what the process is for the insurance Paramount Advantage. Does it require a diet pryor to surgery or what

Had RNY 2003 in San Diego, CA. My surgeon no longer practices. In 2003 wt. 281 lost 75# then no more. In Oklahoma 2005 went to see Dr Ronnie Keith in 2006-2007 had endoscopy and was told I had two ulcers and a VERY enlarged stoma. I worked so hard to eat right and walked every day (4-6.5 miles) in 2011 made it to 155 which lasted about 6 months. Had L knee TKA 2011, R hip THA 2012, L hip THA 2013, shattered L femur two surgeries 2015 and 2016, R knee TKA 2017.

I am currently filling out paperwork and it asked me for Insurance Information and Guarantor Information. I know I put down my stepfather's name since he is guarantor but it asked me for the Card Holder information. Should I put down my name or his name? My name is on the card along with my own ID Number and Group Number but I'm still under my stepfather's insurance since I'm under 26 and he gets the insurance through his job but he pays for the insurance. It also asked me for the Card Holder's Employer. I'm unemployed but my stepfather is currently employed. What information do I put down for Insurance Information? Mine or my stepfather's information? Thank you for reading and answering my question.

Can anyone recommend loan options besides care credit. We are self employed and Kaiser does not cover the surgery. We were relying on care credit but the hospital does not accept cc so I'm super bummed. I don't think I will get approved for a credit card that high any medical loan companies anyone can recommend?

thank you

I would love to get information on how to file an appeal for Aetna. I had lap band in 2011 but due to serious acid reflux and ulcers, I need to have it removed. I lost weight with the band and kept if off. I also had pain with TV and the way it was sitting in my stomach. I would like the revision done but bc my reflux was so bad, I have to wait 60 days to get the revision so that my esophagus may heal. I'm nervous that Aetna will deny the revision. Please help.
