I’m at a crossroads. I am currently at 39BMI. My insurance covers Bariatric surgery with 35 BMI+1 comirbidity OR 40+BMI. I’m fortunate that I have no comorbidities other than “positional sleep apnea” which only requires a positional pillow (no Capp needed yet). I am also required to do 6 mo with nutritionist and psych evaluation. I would need to GAIN 6lbs (or perhaps just get by with wearing heavy clothes to my appt) to proceed. I’m concerned that even after 6 months of jumping through hoops I’ll still get denied for some reason or other.
I’ve researched Mexico but my husband immediately said no. I’m not the kind of girl who likes being told what to do but I love my husband and I destabd his reservations.
Another option I found is Blossom Bariatric in Vegas which offers and outpatient sleeve procedure which would self-pay. It would put a financial burden on us for about a year which is how long it would take to pay it off.
I’m just so overwhelmed and would love to hear about your experience with insurance companies.
