I have FEP Blue BCBS. I have attached a screenshot from their 2021 booklet.

Although it does say three months in a medically supervised weight loss program, there is nothing regarding how much needs to be lost (if any) or if a net gain would be ok.

Here’s my issue. I started this journey at 257. My first weigh in was 269. I am 260 right now but I am having a colonoscopy just a day before my next weigh in a week. With all those laxatives and extended clear
liquid diet (2 days for me) , I am probably bound to be down even more. This will look like a 12 lb gain and 12 lb or more loss in two months. Ugh.

I don’t want to look all Over the place. Each month I gain and loss weight everyday it seems. It would be good if I got back to 257, but almost not because the month after I go on vacation and my last weigh in will be a few days after I get back. Can’t win!

The surgical coordinator told me to try to maintain the best I could. This is not happening for me. I am obsessing so much about being denied.

I am almost done with my clearances (except endoscopy) and the last two weigh ins. Do you think I’ll get denied ?

I was a very heavy vapor and it was undetected in 14 days. Now it's been 30 days. You can do it

I do have BCBS FEDERAL so I'm
Having faith.

So scared I won't get approved !! 😳😭

I had to get a CT SCAN. My kidneys showed a 4mm cyst- nothing that they could even figure out what it is.

Passed !!! Yay!!! Almost done jumping through hoops

I quit vaping 14 days ago. I’m taking my blood test today. Let’s pray!!!

Yes, this really freaked me out. It made me scared to continue with testing for the surgery. I do have two young kids and I had a fearful night based on Google.

Thank you all for your input.

Hi. I am new here and thankful that I found this site.

I am working through the clearances and just got a notification that my MRI results have just been posted.

Can someone please tell me what this means ? She told me I had a fatty liver, which makes sense ... but what is this kidney stuff! Is this kidney disease! I am so worried now. I never had an abnormal blood work.

IMPRESSION:

Fatty liver and hepatomegaly, as described.

Status post cholecystectomy.

Suggested increased echogenicity of the medullary pyramids of both kidneys, raising the possibility of medullary sponge kidney and/or medullary nephrocalcinosis. Otherwise, no hydronephrosis or discrete shadowing renal stone seen sonographically in either kidney. Consider further imaging evaluation of the kidneys/urinary tract with CT Urogram (CT scan of abdomen and pelvis without and with intravenous contrast), as clinically warranted.

Otherwise, unremarkable abdominal ultrasound.
