Today was my last nutrition appt..they sent everything to BC/BS ....now i wait..im super nervousr because my BMI is only 37...but i have hiatal hernia, GERD and sleep apnea..wish me luck!

I hear ya...my data is July 30th and i feel like im going crazy waiting...i don't know how im going fo get through the next 3 weeks!

Marty i like that idea a lot...let me know if u need help blowing then into the clouds...thanks again everyone u have helped ease my mind )

Same with me...im only telling immediate famil (mom, dad, brother and sister) no body else. It is a personal choice and i would rather not deal with the negative comments or the "whys"

Thank u so much for the responses. Im sure he will come around once its over and sees that im ok

I've been holding off telling my dad because he I know his reaction will be bad and that's exactly what it was. He told me the usual "your not that big" ...he even told me that he hoped the insurance denies me. I know he's just scared but it hurts not to have his support. Thank God I have a loving husband who supports me 100%

Thanks! Good luck with your journey also. See ya on the loser's bench

Hello and welcome. I also have July 30th as my surgery date. So far i have all mu apprs done and just need my last nutrition appt, on July 13th, then everything can be submitted to insurance. Im super excited...waiting is like torture!

Im fairly new at the process too. I went to my first appt on May 4th and have been trying to get all my requirements filled. I had my second mandatory nutrition appt today...one more to go and then we submit to insurance...im praying i get approved after all this prep

I also have BCBS of NJ and a BMI of 36. My comorbites are High Cholesterol and GERD. Do you think I will have a problem getting approved? Also what was it like dealing with BCBS NJ..what did they require from you to get approved? Thank you.

My BMI is 36, I have GERD and High Cholesterol. What do you think my chances are of getting approved with BCBS NJ? Thanks.
