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

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.

Psych clearance ✅ Pulmonologist ✅ Cardiac ✅ Nutria is classes ✅ Forms quizzes etc ✅ Gastroenterlogist and Two more weigh in ad I'm Done I am 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.

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.

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

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.
