Hang in there guys!..,pre occupy ur self with other things while waiting☺️

2nd day of my liquid diet and im having headaches!..not sure if its because im not getting my coffee or im having food withdrawal?

This was my concern too when i started my journey march 2015..i asked same question and according to my surgeon they submit the very first bmi visit to ur insurance!...it doesnt matter if u lose weight or not during ur 3rd month visit or ur 6 month visit.

I aint gonna lie but i know how u feel!...ughh waiting is a TORTURE!

My surgery date is nov 9 and i started my liquid nov 2...my dr said i only have to do my liquid diet for 7 days....yesterday, i did my ekg and registration in the hospital and im good to go!...i waited 7 months for this moment and im now very excited and ready for monday!....i cant wait to sit on "the losers bench"!...best wishes to y'all!

Congrats on ur approval!...After doing my 6 months wait, I was also approved on september 30th for Gastric bypass and i have bcbs...and we closed on our first home too the same day!!..it was a double celebration for me and my family!...my surgery is November 9!..im superrrrr excited!

@Dreamtc pls add me to ur fb page...my surgery is on nov 9...im from raleigh nc and im sooo excited!..,7 longs months wait and my big day is just around the corner....i cant wait????

Oh my he is really booked then!..i hope he can squeezed me in this october.

Hi kayjay14!...i just got my approval today!...yeayyyyyyy to me! i know we go to same doctor and i see that ur scheduled oct 28 - CONGRATS!.....question, is that the first availability that dr sharp has?...or u picked this date for you?....lol i waited 6 months and i just wanna gitt-err-dunn! U know what i mean!..i just wanna know if they have an early opening date before oct 28?

Thats awesome!...best wishes!

U would think all bcbs plans are d same but its not!..if ur bcbs homeplan is nc its a different jurisdiction and nc bcbs does not require 6 months weight in...eh sc bcbs requires it.... Btw just is case u dont know yet, you can sign up to mybcbstoolkit.com as a bcbs member and u will see ur approval status there everyday instead of waiting for a call or a letter in mail...lol i log in everyday to see if its already approved...if not appeoved, it should say pending or denied. Also does anyone here uses cpap machine?..will the insurance check the sd card to see if we r really using it?. Nways good luck and best wishes to all of us and keep us posted if u hear anything from ur insurance!..god bless y'all!

U would think ur insurance will protect u...sigh....oh gosh i guess im just super stressed out and i dont wanna have a double denial....im trying to be hopeful and positive but im only human????....tnx for listening and good luck on urs too.☺️

Lol sometimes i dont like to read stuff in here specially when i read and see other ppol having same issue or worse experiences with their insurances...lol it stresses me out more when i read other ppols negative experiences.....it sucks cuz we pay our insurances and when we need their aid, they try to scrutinize everything!.,,ughhh!...killing me!...the wait is bad enough and then more hurdles from insurances!...

Mine is a lil bit confusing but its really the clause that my compnay has on our benefits...my homeplan is bcbs of florida but we work here in nc. We submit all medical claims to bcbs of nc but our company follows bcbs south carolina guidelines cuz its cheaper for them!...ya i know i thought my paper works will be file to nc and will follow the bcbs nc requirements which is no wait and no cluase on benefits!....so basically, bcbs nc benefits and requirement is much easier than ac bcbs..... I found this out when during my first denial....this is why i have to do the 6 months because it is required by SC BCBS requirements unlike NC bcbs!...i just really hope they dont give me a hard time this time cuz i completed my 6months and all other stuff from dr sharps requirements.

Did u have to do 6 months?...how long uve been waiting for ur approval?..when did u complete your requirements?....what insurance do u have?...ya dr sharp is super nice but our the surgery coordinator has to do their job too and not sure if they are 100% on our paperworks...thats why i went there cuz they said they have the best insurance specialist thats on top if all paper works..the first denial i have i feel like they didnt do alot of research before they submitted to my insurance thats y i was denied...their reply was like oh i never "worked on such insurance like ur"...im like ok but my insurance is like one of fhe common out there...bcbs!
