I'm so sorry that happened to you. I am with Blue Cross and they approved me the first time we submitted. With that being said I really think it is all about the insurance company. Is there any way that if this doesn't go through you can switch insurance companies? Blue Cross doesn't even have a wait time anymore.
They told me that I will need the liquid diet for only one week yay! I believe that I can do it. Thank you for stating that you can eat jello and Popsicles too. What brand of popsicle?
Absolutely everyone should have a scope done. I found that I had two small developing ulcers and when they performed the biopsy they found that I had H Pylori! They gave me a round of antibiotics that I had to take for two weeks just to get rid of everything. Who knew? I felt fine. I had heard of those who did not have this test done and found that they had Pylori after the bypass procedure and ended up back in the hospital. I am telling you and everyone else to have it done please.
I met with my surgeon yesterday and they have informed if the policy change with BCBS of NC and there is no longer any wait at all! He said that now I just have three more appointments left and they will submit my paperwork. I started my journey the first week of June and will now NOT have to wait until November and I am sooooooo excited. Way to go BCBS!
