Hello, Congratulations on your surgery.. I am now doing the process at Peachtree Surgical &Bariatrics at the downtown Atlanta location. The people there are very nice and helpful. I enjoyed my experience. I went to my Primary Care Physician and he done my Labs, EKG,and he and I have been working on a diet plan for months so he is getting ready to send the information to Peachtree. The Nurse Practioner  told me as long as your PCP can document these things you will not have to do nutrition for 3 months. Like I said I had already been talking and working with my PCP about diet, diet pills and exercising.

My surgeon will be Dr. Larry Hobson. I did get preapprove so once I get my psychology evaluation then they will go to Amerigroup to get the approval. I am very glad you spoke about Amerigroup because I did not know they pay for this surgery until a couple of months ago I came across your post..

Thank you, Thank you for the information...

it sounds like you should be looking to have surgery within the next month or two. i didn't have to do a diet plan because i had 2yrs of documentation but they only wanted i think 6mths worth. i hope all works out for you, it did for me

Hi im 27 and im 5'5 250LB i have 3 kids and im on well care will they pay for surgery or should i change to ameri group

I also have Amerigroup through Medicaid I called yesterday and they said that they do cover the surgery but my PCP must say that it is medically necessary. I called my PCP and he said that it is offfice policy not to recommend anyone for weight loss surgery.  So now I have to find a new PCP. Does anyone know of a PCP near McDonough that does recommend weight loss surgery?
