BubblesOhSoSleeved

Omg, I was going to post about piercings for some suggestions, I have my septum, nose, tragus and tongue pierced and am not about to take them out..although all of my jewelry are titanium and do not conduct electricity and aren't magnetic I'm afraid they'll make me take them out so now I have to go look for bioplast jewelry and retainers

I stay in Sachse which is 45 mins from Dallas Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app

Hey, I have a BMI of 46.6, and have been thinking about getting the sleeve done for 2 years now. I had my first initial consultation on Nov 17th...and was contacted yesterday by my case manager of my medical requirements. I've scheduled my psych and dietician evaluation for December 8th. I've will be scheduling my egd on Monday the 28th and have already gotten started on.the requirements needed by my insurance...my question is how long and how easy it it to get a first approval with BCBSIL??? My surgeon said if I can get my approval started on it would be able to have my surgery in December which is my goal because my deductible has already been met. Thank you all in advance!!!!

Hopefully I will be sleeved in Dec...I just started the process but my Surgeon said we could get it done if my approval went smoothly since my deductible has already been met...If approved i'll be having my surgery at Baylor Scott and White Med Ctr Plano...I'm so excited!

Hi, Im kind of late but do you know if other peope in your family have sleep Apnea?? Although I dont think I have it my bmi is over 40 but my mother had it which qualified her for her Sleeve. Also My entire family on that side of my family has sleep apnea, so you could use the surgery as a preventative...thats how I'm trying to get a first approval...although my bmi is over 40, diabetes, hypertension and sleep apnea run on both my paternal side and maternal side...Good luck!!!

Yeah they cover it with my moms group plan I'm just trying to get it done by the end of the year because my deductible has been met and my surgeon said the only set back would be my insurance but their requirements aren't difficult to obtain..so I'm hoping to send in my asking letter on the dec 9th so I can get this does either the week after or towards the end of decemeber...the only thing hindering me at this point is scheduling my EGD, after being cleared for that I should be able to apply for the coverage

And good luck with your procedure Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App
