  1. I have BCBS Alabama as well and was approved within a week after they got all the info.
  2. Figure out a way to get up enough money to go to Mexico. Get a second job if u can tolerate it. On another forum a lady had some financial problems and someone from the forum gave her a donation to pay for hers! It was such a blessing! I pray that something comes through for u!!
  3. Really heartbreaking! I pray that u get help!
  4. I have Asthma but have been put under about 4 times with different surgeries and didn't have any problems.
  5. Well I think you should purchase a blood pressure monitor or go by a drugstore to keep it checked regularly.
  6. Oh good luck! I hope they will accept that as the 6 month requirement! I just got approved Thursday with BCBS AL! I started the 6 month diet in from Feb-July and met the other requirements and was approved thank God! I will be praying that you get a positive outcome as well!
  7. I would check with my insurance to see if they even cover wls, because just because u have a consult with a surgeon doesn't mean you'll get approved. Most surgeons have a program fee of $200 and up! So definitely check with your insurance to see if you have coverage first.
  8. I'm so happy! I'm in tears! I have a better chance to see my kids grow up! I called BCBS AL today to see if they received the missing paperwork and the rep said "it was approved yesterday as soon as your doctor sent it" I screamed with joy!!!!!! My coordinator is out of the office until Tuesday! Will keep u guys updated and thank u all for every post, reply,prayer thanks!!
  9. They say they only have the last 2 months of my 6 month diet but hell if they just look through the paperwork they will see the whole damn 6 months was completed!! Wow they make things so difficult!! My coordinator is resubmitting it to them, but she has comfirmation that she did send it! Be so glad when this is over!!!
  10. Sorry in advance if this sound rude but if this is the size u are in the last picture with the bathing suit then any doctor that does any wls on you should be punished. U are a very thin, great size! If you have a problem with binging and purging then you should really seek some therapy and a good nutritionist to help u maintain your weight. Again I apologize if this sounds rude.
  11. I'm waiting too! Insurance says my predetermination is still in process! I been calling everyday!
