Happy Sunday everyone! I am at the end of jumping through all the hoops the insurance requires, next up is appt for medical clearance. I have BCBS of DE Highmark. Wondering if anyone else does and about how long does it take for approval? Dr. Wynn is my surgeon. TIA

Qt, the shakes are sold based on your BMI. I had 6 per day at $15 per day. You can but bars and Soups for an additional cost each. I decided to go inexpensive and just do shakes. I did all vanilla and chocolate. Honestly, they weren't tasty, so I treated it like medicine - something you have to do to get better. They were best blended with Water and ice. I supplemented with SF Jello and Popsicles, and broth. Drink plenty of Water and crystal light and you'll feel full faster.

I too have BCBSDE, and it took about a week and a half from submission to approval. Note that the surgeon's office submits once you've had all of your clearances done.

A question about your insurance (same as mine) BCBSDE...were you required to lose a certain amount of weight before approval? I am struggling. ...which is why I want/need this surgery.

I am your height and weight too! I hate buying clothes, especially pants, because it is so hard finding a petite length. Some petite lengths are too short while regular is way too long. I am hoping for a June surgery. How about you?
