Any info such as :

The number of co-morbids required for the BMI # ?

Length of time Molina took to approve or deny?

Did they cover the LapBand or Gastric Bypass surgery ?

Any other information or opinion about Molina Healthcare is very welcome !

Thank you all- have a blessed day !

I have molina here in Texas they required 6 months each weigh in had to be within 30 days of each other. My paperwork got submitted on Monday of this week and I got my approval today.  Good Luck to you.

That's excellent news ! I'm glad you were approved :)
Do you mind sharing what your BMI and co-morbids are ?
I have an information packet being mailed to my home from one of the best Bariatric surgery centers here in Ohio . The packet will contain the insurance requirements and how I go about starting my journey. I hope I recieve a "Approval" letter, just as you did.

Please, PLEASE, while you're researching WLS, research the VSG/Sleeve and the DS/duodenal switch as well as the Band and the RNY/gastric bypass. I simply would not recommend the Band to anyone, and I do think that for most people, the VSG or the DS are the better options.
