23 hours ago, BrownsugarNY said:I have BCBS and I was approved within 24 hours and I gained a whopping 5 LBs my 5th month in my pre-op appointments.
Don’t worry so much they look at initial weight as a factor for approval and you can call the insurance company to get very specific details of what you’re required to do to ensure you get approved.
Not sure what your company wants by my BCBS NY only wanted psych evaluation, 6 months of PCP weigh-ins and medical clearance from primary physician and like I said my approval was completed with 24 hours and I was sleeved 1 week ago 12/22

I haven't been sleeved by him but my mom was 3 years ago and she had a great experience! She had Anthem BCBS but the requirements have changed since then.

Hey everyone,
I'm just a little worried about the 6 months of pre-op dieting. According to my hospital's insurance specialist, some insurance providers are now denying people if they don't lose a pound per month or even gain weight during their 6 months of pre-op dieting. I've completed 6 months of dieting, however I did gain weight and lose weight irregularly. I'm currently a professional student living about 600 miles away from my surgeon so I'm just trying to make sure I get everything done & keep to my tight schedule!
Is there anyone with Anthem BCBS that can offer a little insight on what is expected?
Thanks!

That's exactly what I needed to hear! I'm hoping to knock out the holiday weight gain before my final weigh in.
