Hello!! Yesterday my program specialist needed to clarify a document with me - that is all done and she said that she would send everything to insurance by today or tomorrow. hopefully I will know by next week (BCBS is typically fast from what she told me) I will keep you all updated! thank you for the support, I will let you all know soon <3 <3

I did everything included in my multi-disciplinary program through the hospital, passed the psych eval, attended all my classes, and got clearances from a couple of my doctors! NOW IT'S TIME TO GET EVERYTHING SENT. I have a sinking feeling like somehow I will get denied still?? Is this normal? Cross your fingers for me, yall!

I know how you feel I just finished all my requirements on 04/11/18 and everything was submitted to insurance on Thursday I was told I would know something this week and I feel just like you about being denied

I am with you. I will have my last nut appointment next week and then they will submit everything... I am so nervous that something will go wrong and I will be denied. I think it natural to worry.

Good luck, I am not one to say what is "normal", but I felt that same way when it was finally time to send in all the stuff to the insurance company. I was sooo nervous that I would be declined even though I went through all the hoops. But for me everything went through fine.

And when someone,in something denies you, you will,sit and cry your eyes out. That is so much me I have the jacket to prove it. I was blindsided, thought if you were fair and honest with someone, it would only be to,my benefit. Wrong! But I was one of those infrequent happenings, you all will not,be!! And I will taste victory and I have to believe,you will be sweeter for the wait.😁

Leading others to happiness is the greatest triumph.

Luckily for me I went on a two-week vacation after they submitted my request to the insurance company, and I didn’t think about it while on vacation. When I got home, I called for a status update, and learned I’d been approved!

I had that feeling from day 1. I went to my surgeon to see about him fixing a hernia I currently got (1st time) and he suggested the sleeve because he could fix the hernia but because of my weight there was a strong chance of it just re-opening or another opening somewhere else. I had talked about bariatric with my Primary Doc but it was nothing more than a suggestion from her and a nod "i'll give it some thought" from me. After getting a bit excited when I left the surgeon it hit me. Would be just my luck go through everything and insurance says No Go.
I'm sure all will go well for you and all others waiting to hear, myself included (fingers crossed).
Either way keep up posted on updates and best of luck!!!!

Just relax. If you meet all the requirements and the most important is having a BMI of 40, YOU ARE ALL SET!!! You will get approved!

Remember approval isn't subjective. There shouldn't be any mystery unless you're unsure of requirements or results.

Words on old sign Don't tie yourself up in "nots". don't worry about things not being right. You have done things properly, have the courage of your convictions. Stop worring, start smiling kick back a little and relax. Tensing yourself up serves no useful purpose, sadness only brings wrinkles and indigestion. Rechewing your words, nope start beleving in you, each thing on the requirment list prepares you for your future surgery and you will, in the fullness of time have it occur.

I had GERD pre-surgery and was still able to get it.
Post-surgery, I'm not sure if I have it anymore, but I'm not brave enough to stop taking Prilosec just yet. My doctor told me it can inhibit absorption of Vitamins and minerals, so I should probably try giving it up.

Not sure it helps with insurance, but gerd is often caused by a hiatal hernia, which is fixed during surgery. I had mild GERD and a VSG and it’s been totally gone since surgery

And if it doesn't go away I will be able to get a revision.

I am having VSG tomorrow and I have GERD. Although some doctors recommend Gastric bypassbecause it cures GERD, it has more potential complications. My surgeon said that since myGERD is caused by my obesity, it will go away once I lose weight.

Trust the knowledge of your surgeon, GERD has been know to get worse with VSG but cured with RNY (not always a rule though)

If it gets worse you may need a revision
