Insurance question

Hi I am new to this site i just recently decide to have the procedure done. My question is Americhoice with familycare  diffcult to work with or do they usually approve you quickly. thanks Danny

most insurance companies -- if you do what they say to do -- the dr supervised diet -- whatever -- if you do what they say then you shouldn't have any problem at all -- as long as you meet all of their guidelines  good luck to you roberta

Hi i have americhoice and i  just had my surgery on 8/23 and they gave me no problems i did what they asked and every thing was fine.

Thanks. i just had my first appointment with my surgeon last thursday. And now I am going to see all the doctor to get cleareance. If you don't mind me asking how did the surgery go and what type did you get.

The surgery went well. And i had the lapband feel free to ask me any questions because every one here has been a help to me so i will help any one here to the best of my ability.

hi my husband and i both had open RNY -- everything went according to the text book :) neither one of us had a problem at all -- and now i can walk faster than him haha and our scars are nothing -- mine is a little pencil line about 4 inches long -- nothing to it :) would do it all again in a heartbeat!! we were both in the hospital for 2.5 days and i was back to work in 17 days - ross took advantage of being home and stayed home for the 6 weeks  good luck to you :)  Roberta

'the procedure'?   Are you looking at a lap-band, a RNY,  A Vertical Gastrectomy, or a Duodenal Switch?    Different surgeries have different insurance challenges.    Good luck with your search!   Mary C

Thank you to everyone so far this is great site to get good advice. I am going to a the RNY procedure done. I just called for my sleep study and I am goinn next week. the only doctor I am trying to found still is a psyc. doctor.
