    Care Package?

    Yeah, she'll only be there a day or 2....she'll be busy walking!
  6. My surgery has been moved to the 15th. The cardiologist doesn't have a problem with waiting 48 hours but my surgeon wants to wait 5 days.

    Pre-Op Fears

    I have a little different fear...I am not afraid of surgery and I am going to give this all I've got but I have Atrial Fibrillation Cardiologist has cleared me but still a little worried about the heart aspect. You'll do great...Just work hard!
  8. Finally got approved and set the surgery date for 8/8/16. My only issue is I was just electrically cardioverted and have to be sure I stay on my Eliquis for 30 days. That puts me 2 days past my surgery date. Does anyone thing it will kill me if I stop taking the Eliquis in time to have my surgery on the originally scheduled date or should I put it off a week?
  9. I am currently awaiting a reconsideration from BCBS Federal. It could be a 30 day wait but I am praying that it will be sooner. Would love to join the group if it happens.

    BCBS Federal Denied

    So, I met every bit of criteria for the gastric sleeve. Did 4 months worth of required tasks and submitted for approval. Unfortunately, I had smoked but stopped a year ago. Apparently, by mistake, I checked I was smoking when I thought it said "have you smoked". There are no medical records of my smoking or stopping so now BC has denied me with the opinion that I have smoked in 6 months. I have written my own letter of appeal since I have no doctor proof and explained the timing and situation. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is there a chance at all that BCBS will take into account my letter? OR AM I JUST OUT OF LUCK? One more question....if they can take my word that I was honest and said I did smoke, why can't they take my word that I have stopped.
