Ideal shakes taste really good. Honest.

Googled requirements and it said bmi of 40. Hopefully Cheryl can work her magic.

Has gr8ful4life checked in after surgery? Still trying to learn my way around here.

What are you all doing for exercise? I am hopeful to get back to it but my plantar fasciitis is flaring up again. I also have a dvt in the other leg. Swimming is the best for me.

@@lyssy, Your insurance didn't put the BMI requirements in their documents? I'll keep my fingers crossed with you!

I don't know. Cheryl (Dr. Balette's nurse) is handling all that.

Any idea where I can find that?

I do have other health issues (back, hip, knee and foot) but no HBP, diabetes, etc.The waiting (weighting - ok, that was bad) is torture.

So glad I found this thread. Can I join?

Dr. Balette is mine doc! I live in Spring (Aldine-Westfield/1960 area) I also have BCBSTX and have had my blood work, psyc eval and met with the nut. Paperwork was submitted on 03/15/16 to see if they will approve. I was told 15-20 days.

It is really hard for me to tell if I will be approved. My BMI is 37.2 but I don't have other major health issues (yet).

How long did it take from time paperwork was submitted?
