If you go to see another Dr right now insurance will probably see this as a pre existing condition. Most insurance considers anything treated in the last 12 mo pre-existing. Check w/ you policy before you do anything. Call the ins co and ask what qualifies as pre-existing. I had only had one medically supervised diet and it was about 2 years ago and I was approved thru BCBS (hard) I also am about 415 lbs.

Ok, if yoou are 410#s then most likely you have been overweight for most of your life. During your life you have probably talked to many physicians or they have spoke to you about your weight problem. Perhaps you may have even spoke to them about a diet plan. Can you remember any doctor that this may have happened. This will work, it did for me and I have Aetna also! I just used one of my chilhood doctors along with a recent one. Good luck to you!

Hi, I was the key word here is "was" 410 pounds last week. I had my surgery with Dr. Wongsa. All you need to do is keep your appointment with him, You are more than qualified to have the surgery and more than likely his office will take care of all you need to do. Best wishes and Kiss the Doctor for me. I am one week post op and down 15 pounds already!!!
