Sleeved May 7th and feel like a new person already..it is exciting to know that more is going to come off!! Pre-op:258 lbs Day of surgery: 247.9 lbs Current: 229. Lbs Those 29lbs have been kicked to the curb!!

So excited, my surgery has been scheduled May 7th! I pray the next two weeks go smoothly and I am mentally prepared!

Requirements can all be located on the bcbstx under providers, standards and requirements, and medical policies then search bariatric. To summarize bmi 35 or over and 2 comorbities high blood pressure,

The normal hoops of 6 months supervised diet and the other evaluations. But I found out that the supervised diet was no longer required 5 months in so I decided to submitt to insurance and take a chance! I live in the Austin area.

Yesterday I found out I was approved by my insurance for VSG. I submitted on April 2 and had been calling just about every other day to see if it had been reviewed. When I called yesterday the women for BCBSTX told me, it looks like according our records blue cross will NOT cover the surgery! I was like what really? Then she retorts, oh I apologize I read that wrong, according to our records blue cross has approved medical necessity for the surgery, you have been approved! For a second there I was devastated but when she clarified I kind of freaked out! I had been preparing and jumping through all of the insurance hoops for 6 months and I can't believe that it is really happening! I am still in shock, but can't wait for Monday morning when my Dr office opens so I can actually schedule a date!

I completely understand...I even tried LB brand boots but they wouldn't zip over my calves! I can't wait to wear cute riding boots! Best of luck to you!!

I have the same feeling, but I honestly believe God wants us to lives to our fullest potential! God made me in his image but I am the one who put on the weight, not God! I would suggest praying that is this Gods will for your life. If you are not feeling scenes of peace about the surgery then that might be your answer. But Also know that God loves you regardless
