  1. What about spin class? ????
  2. Wait no it's empire BCBS MTA
  3. I have empire plan through the MTA still under my mothers insurance .
  4. Oh wow okay so I have a lower end bmi and no records for 3 years showing it. Also if I needed the 6 month pre diet would they have told me that before hand? My surgeons office seems very together and organized. They gave me all the info I needed right away.
  5. The first meeting with my surgeon they gave me a date. Does that mean i am approved? That was the beginning of december. I finished all my testing this week and going back Wednesday Jan 7 and am sccheduled for the 26th
  6. I literally just stopped and took excedrin migraine and drank tons of water. I figured it would be easier to quit now then to have to quit while on the 2 weeks pre op diet ! It's weird I get up and go to work I feel like I'm forgetting something ! But nope just my caffeine lol
  7. Plus I took off 3 weeks of work already and told them I was having a different surgery because I didn't want to tell them. So I'll be so frustrated if I don't ! ????????
  8. I started at exactly 35. I did do all the testing so I did a sleep study this week and assuming I have sleep apnea. I would think my doctor wouldnt push me this far along and give me a date the first visit unless he thought for sure it could be done. Unless this has happened to anyone else and was not approved ? That's what I'm afraid of
  9. I am new ! I went to the surgeon in Dec. and just finished all my testing this week. I was able to move my date up from Feb. 3 to Jan. 26. I am heading back to the surgeon this week for all my clearances. I am having my fingers crossed I am approved! I was on the lower end of the BMI scale. Starting at 201 5'3. Over the past month I stopped going to the gym and have definitely not been eating right and have gained maybe 10 lbs. My endoscopy came back I had a hernia in my esophagus and gastritis. I have to have another endo. Jan 12 to be cleared. Anyone else have this issue?! I was prescribed prilosec and have kicked caffeine for about 2 weeks now so that I would not have the headaches while on the 2 week pre-op diet. FYI my insurance is Empire BCBS (MTA in NY) Anyone a lower end BMI with EMPIRE BCBS??!
