Bariatric Surgery?
I have fatty liver disease, I’m a 30 yr old female at 5’4 and 265 lbs. I tried phentermine with little to no results, I tried GLP-1 with no results at all, and then I tried semaglutide injections for a very short period of time. I saw no progress for about 5 weeks and then couldn’t afford it as my insurance wouldn’t cover it.
Does anyone here know the chances of UHC approving bariatric surgery for fatty liver disease and obesity?
My ALT, ALP,AST, and GGT levels are elevated
Blood pressure is always low
Just jumped from a 5.3 A1c to a 5.7 A1c so I’m technically now prediabetic
Would the surgery even be a good option for me?
