My
Doctor told me that I would be a great candidate for the Bariatric
Sleeve. She also told me that they have a ton of pre rec's but my
insurance would also cover it. "What you talking about Willis"?
This
is something I had never thought of. She went on to tell me that ALL my
appointments would be down in Seattle at the University of Washington
and also the surgery. That I needed to see a physical therapist for 12
visits, a psychologist for 12 visits a dietician for 12 visits, be
weighed every week and to loose 20 lbs. Had to have a huge panel of
blood work done, an EKG, an upper endoscopy, a online class and a sleep
study.
There
probably was more, but I can't remember. She said I had to dot every I
and cross every T perfectly or my insurance would not cover any of it.
Ok, that makes total sense to me. They want to make sure that I am a
person is completely on board with this entire new lifestyle.
Now
off onto my new journey. I did everything that was required of me and I
was just at the point of going to Seattle to meet my surgeon for
surgery, when I get a letter from my insurance company telling me that
my insurance is running out and I need to pick a different one.
Easier
said then done. Every State is different, but in Washington State,
unless you are with insurance from your work, bariatric surgery is NOT
covered. "NOT COVERED"!!!!!!!!!! "WTH"
