i have Americhoice, Medicaid & Medicare
I had Gastric Bypass in 2001 and insurance company covered surgery in full
i now have alot of sagging skin due to the major weight loss.
what kind of letters do i need from doctors / specialists to get an arm lift, leg lift or breast lift covered by my health insurance.
what do the letters need to say that would help me get approved.
This is not an invite for people to critisize someone’s choice, but only to share valuable information.
I would like to hear from those of you who have used surgery to take off weight. Be it Gastric Bypass, stomach stapling, or the newer stomach banding. Was it worth it? Did you have many complications? Did your health insurance cover the costs?
Because of the personal nature of this question, I understand if you would rather answer by email, so feel free to click on the link in my profile.
Thanks!
So I did lose weight (30lbs) but now I’ve gained it back and more. I pretty young and still want to lose the weight so I was thinking about gastric because even when I did lose the weight I still felt as if I could eat a lot more. However, the problem I seem to see with gastric is the extra skin.
My questions:
How much does it cost (range)?
With working out can I avoid extra skinny, totally?
The risks?
Does health insurance cover it or even part (Toronto, ON)?
Lastly, anything you want to add experience etc…
has anyone had the gastric bypass or lapband surgery? have they worked, how much weight have you lost, how log has it taken, any side effects and do you wish u never had it done? how much did it cost? please help i can deal with dieting and exercise anymore, it dosent work and im willing to risk my life, im only 24 and dont want to deal with weight problems for the rest of my life..
does anyone know the normal cost for lapband surgery? Has anyone had good sucess. Whats the pros and cons? Had a friend die from gastric bypass so i am too scared to do that and it costs too much anyway. Any info appreciated thanks
When was it done? What were you before and what’s your goal weight now or down to now? Did you get Gastric bypass done if so was it the Band or the Roux-en-Y? How does it make you feel? What are the complications for you on this surgery? What acan and can’t you eat? Can you eat something one day and can’t it eat another day?
I am currently on the waiting list to have a Gastric Bypass Roux en Youx (in the next eight weeks). The surgery is to be performed as open surgery, however my G.P. feels i may have a stomach ulcer (due to my syptoms) i take omeprazole 40mg a day and i am wondering wether it is safe to have the op if i have an ulcer? If any one in the medical proffesion could please help with my query id really appreciate it.
I’m 24 and had gastric bypass a little over a year ago. I’ve lost over 100 lbs and have excess skin as a result. My insurance (United Healthcare) did not cover my initial surgery, but my question is- is it possible they would cover plastic surgery to have skin removed? What is the average cost of this (tummy tuck and breast contouring) ? What is the expected recovery time?
Thanks for your help.
How did it affect their life? My grandmother is severely obese because of a condition involving her thyroid, the doctors are wanting to perform gastric bypass surgery on her but she is afraid of what could happen after the surgery. Do you know any successful stories dealing with gastric bypass surgery that I could show to my grandmother to help ease her fear of having the surgery? I would really apprieciate it.
Thanks.
