Anyone out there on the local government Health Insurance Plan with BCBS of AL? I had my 1st appt with the surgeon's office on 1/15/15. I was told that the 6 month diet was waived with my BMI being 44. I have to pay 1,057.00 (50% of copay) to surgeon. From what I understand, I am waiting on medical records to be submitted from my PCP and I need to fill out a 5 yr diet history. After that, I don't know...Just wondering if anyone else has been through the whole process with the same type of insurance.

My surgery went very well! Mobile Infirmary is an awesome hospital with great staff. Everyone was very attentive. I went home Thursday. This is my 2nd day back at the office. Everything is going great!

What is the best tasting Protein powder available at Wal-Mart to mix with clear liquid? I have, of course, waited until the last minute and can't get to a GNC store! Surgery is Monday, so I need something to put in sugar-free Jello, etc. that doesn't taste horrible. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. TIA

Well my surgery being Monday, my doctor called today about my pre-op testing. It seems I may have Gastroparasis and will have to go for more tests on Monday instead of surgery and I took a week off of work. ????

I will try that. Thanks!!

I am June 1st. Pre-Op was yesterday. The butterflies have set in!!!

I just had my first consult last week Long way to go...but I do know that my insurance co. has waived the 6 month diet plan so I am waiting on my PCP to submit my records for the last 3 years to my surgeon's office. I hope to hear something soon after that. I hope you are recovering well.

Anyone out there?!?!

From what I understand this is something that the peer to peer "appeal" should help with. Your surgeon could explain that one-time weightless.
