You want to be careful and work on changing your diet, and work on exercise too. Journaling is something they want you to do too. But I caution you to be careful if you bmi goes below 40 without co-morbities.

Most def, check out all the plans, call them and ask them what their requirements are to get it covered. Make sure the providers and pace you are having it done takes that plan! Not all of them take it. Remember even though it cost you nothing. They are not allowed to charge you any out of pocket even if it is for something that is not covered by the plan unless you agree ahead of time that you understand that such and such is not covered and you agree that you will pay set amount of money!!! I know this because I work for one of these plans. Also, remember to be good to your providers...they do this at a reduced cost than what they get from other plans or private pay!

I chose Paramount Medicaid and they are covering everything 100%.  Not only that but it only took them a day to approve my sleeve!  I definitely recommend Paramount as a managed care.
