They just told me I'm anemic and started me in supplements. I am so bummed because I just got approved by insurance Friday. They said anesthesia won't put me under til my levels are normal. Does anyone know how long it could take I've never been anemic before!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

They informed me I'm anemic too and said anesthesia won't put me under until my Iron levels are normal!!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Exactly one week and no surgery date yet I have my preop on the 6th. They told me I'm anemic so I'm taking Iron supplements and see if my levels look better by then. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I called my insurance and it is officially approved! Now I will wait to see when they can schedule me and start my preop diet. This seems surreal!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I got super bummed out because I honestly want to give the diet a go but don't want to be slapped with a denial after fulfilling all my requirements!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have bcbs FEP and am borderline bmi too I'm now in my 90 day diet and what if I go below 40bmi? I have no comorbidities. Do I have to be 40 on the day of surgery??? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So I'm wondering if I go under the 40 bmi requirement once I do the diet with my dr would they still approve me? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
