Hello ladies! I'd love surgery buddies! The big day is 8/8! My pre-op labs are 7/28. I started my Protein diet yesterday. It's not a liquid diet so I'm a little worried. Anyway, I'm excited!

Just filed with insurance. 35 bmi with sleep apnea. sleep Apnea is mild but they did prescribe a CPAP. Worried might get denied since isn't severe sleep apnea. Insurance with BCBS OK. Anyone else have this & what was outcome?

Was your mild sleep apnea excepted at a comorbidity?
-
Yes, if it doesn't count 2 more months and it'll be 6 months that I've been on a supervised diet.
Good luck! Mine was submitted this past Thursday and same for me...no date till approved.

My insurance plan states two, but I just hope bc it's an appeal that they are able to the 6months of dieting. If it were a whole new preauth for surgery I would understand if they didn't, but it's just an appeal. Hoping it counts!

My sleep apnea was diagnosed after I was denied the first time for not having a comorbidity. We resubmitted this past Wednesday. (crossing fingers) I am just wondering if they will count my 6 months of weight loss because now it is older than two years. Do they go back to the initial date you filed, or use the date you filed appealed as the two year mark? If nothing else in 2 months I will have another 6 months of physician monitored dieting under my belt, just hoping it will work for the initial date filled. Thanks for any input!

The surgeons office is resubmitting my request for surgery on Thursday....hopefully it's approved this time.
