So i got a called last friday to say that i was approved...the lady was was talking on the phone but all i could hear after that was waaaah waa waah waaaa wah ( i was just zoning out from finding out) and i asked if the approval was for insurance says yes, that there is more paperwork to do and that a few more appointments before actual surgery (she hasnt given me any dates for anything so far) i was like ok ....but then i wanted to double check just like a lot of people do so as to cover all my bases. I call bcbs of mi and asked if surgeons office sent info to get approval.. says that no they havent sent anything but that is not so much as a paper approval letter from BCBS but that all 6 month diet and phsyc documentation the surgeon had to have in my file and once his office would get that info. that the surgeon needs it to document just incase he gets audited. I have really good insurance where they pay anything and if there is copay or anything left we have a card that is given by his employer to pay for it. lie a benefits card. so I was wondering.... have any of you dealt with something like this? I thought i was to get a proper letter of approval from insurance.

i sent u an friend add cause i tried to send u a message but facebook charges 1$ unless you check your other folder, just wanted to ask how have you been? hows your eating going? and how much have you lost recently?

im jealous, i still have 3 more months with my diet before i know..go get em tiger!

That sounds awesome! Having a friend go through it with you , will make that friendship even stronger. Im happy for both of you and good luck

oh WOW!, keep us informed on how your pre surgery diet and test go

way to go ! keep us updated

Awesome, at least you have your stuff done, now its just waiting game and im sure everything will go fine

Dont blame yourself for past stuff that wasn't in your control thats his loss. You are going to be a mommy now and your are going to be one beautiful confident momma*

****CONGRATULATIONS !****

Wow hope you get what you want, i havent sleeved yet but would love to have what you have right now- the possibility jitters.. been trying to have a beebee for 5 years :wub: Go ahead and test

I am Pre-Op and 25... going through the paperwork process , I am from michigan

Im mexican living with an Irish husband so i have to tone things down for him, so im kind of used to the toning of my foods. I haven had the surgery just yet but i am diabetic and i eat black beans with shredded chicken with a tiny bit of salt or taco seasoning and eat it with Quinoa, or egg whites with black beans with a little sason and you got double protein winner.

Im just starting out with he paperwork so hopefully you guys are here when and if i get the surgery (insurance approving) in june july or august.

I also am in the same boat - just waiting because of the 6 month thing and just started on the 16th of jan at weight watchers and going every week for weigh ins with them and every month to weigh in with my dr.......sometimes i wish they just did a 3 month documentation oh well - hoping for june/july surgery

I feel bad for those spouses getting divorce after WLS but they saved themselves time i guess by dealing with issues that were being covered. My husband understands that if i dont get this done, it would be only a matter of time before diabetes gets me pretty soon and neither of us want that plus we want to have a baby. He already looks athletic so I have been on him about my insecurities instead of opposite lol But in the end is about YOU and YOU only, so kindly ask for support from spouse and don't ignore them while your self discovering yourself again while your loosing weight- its an exciting time for both of you
