HI there,
I had gastric bypass 2 years ago with excellent results. Now my girlfriend is interested in getting this surgery done, but she is a little wary about filling out the forms, I still have my forms but she has a BMI over 45 and no CoMorbidities, she is really interested in persuing this surgery. We are just requiring some assistance on filling out the form, if anyone recently has done this please reply. or email me at [email protected], which might be the better choice, thanks so much and look forward to your help

Hi,

Which gastric bypass procedure is she wanting?  Most of us down below don't have to fill out our insurance forms except when we enroll in the insurance of choice.  After that, we are usually given a card that we present whenever we want to see a doctor which has all the insurance information on it.  So, I suppose she would need to research which procedure she wants, find a good surgeon that has a great pre- and post-op support program.  Then see if their staff can help her with the forms.  I know this isn't much help, but I think our insurance process is a bit different.

Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.

hi corey
I am also in the process of filling out the OHIP forms and have a few questions.  I am interested in having gastric bypass and hope to have it done in the very near future.  Please feel free to e-mail me.  I may have some answers for you and in exchange, maybe you could also help me out with the forms.  hoping to hear from you soon.  Dina   (Toronto, Ontario, Canada).  My e-mail address is [email protected]
