SuziLPN reacted to uhm.mazing in BCBS Massachusetts- how long did approval take?
I have BCBS of MA as well, Do you have a 6 month dietician requirement?

SuziLPN reacted to Middus in BCBS Massachusetts- how long did approval take?
I think it depends on your hospital. All i had to do was run a barrage of tests to prove I was fit for surgery. My surgeon then placed a 10lbs weight-loss requirement which added an extra month. Approval happened less than a week after it was submitted.

I have BCBS Ri and it took me 3 months of testing and nut visits. Once I did that approval was done in 15 mins.

Thank you both for the support! I took your advice and have started crossing off the days as I go! 9 days left until surgery. I can do this!

SuziLPN reacted to higher in Who has had WLS without family and friends?
Yeah, I ended up keeping it a total secret. Leaned heavily on this forum- could not have managed without Bariatric Pal.
All my friends are family are incredibly supportive and positive because they all they see is me eating small healthy portions, exercising and dropping weight and they love that.
I think I saved myself a lot of trouble by keeping it to myself.

@@CLN.BK - Yes you can. I was not dating anyone. My kids were in school. I work out of my house. My co-workers are "virtual." And it was great. No back stabbing. No idiot comments. I could control my diet. No one ate my food in the fridge. So look there are upsides and downsides to everything. Just look at the plusses.

SuziLPN reacted to BigViffer in Already cheating 5 months post op
You are already being supportive, this is all on him. If he is causing fights I would ask him point blank, is that stupid bite of food worth the fight? Does it really mean more to you than the health of the family?

SuziLPN reacted to laGata15 in April sleevers!?
I got the phone call today after being denied 2 months ago because my A1c was 9.8! The doctor said he would approve me if I got it down to a 8. And here I am 2 months later , 20 pounds lost and lowered my A1c to 7.9 lol. I got to work on it.
I am now scheduled for April 17th, pre op testing April 5th. Will be on a 10 day liquid diet I hope I make it lol. After 6 long months of test and dr appointment this is finally happening! I am excited, super scared and nervous. Good luck to everyone!

My surgery is Monday too! I'm the first one of the day; I have to be at the hospital at 5:00 AM. I'm not quite nervous yet but I know I won't get much sleep tomorrow night due to nervous energy. Good luck! [emoji4]

Aaaah, 8 months down the line I can finally see a difference! I look rough as balls due to me still getting over a cold, but that ain't stopping me from enjoying my 'before' and 'during'! 118lbs lost from my highest, 89 since the day of surgery. Best way to start the new year in a long time!
