Anyone From Massachusetts Use Bcbs For Lap Band Surgery ?



Recommended Posts

I keep having questions about BCBS of Massachusetts, or if people are having the surgery done where I am, but I never see anything. Anyone from MA? Anyone? blush5.gif

Amanda:

I'm from MA. I had my surgery at Norwood Hospital with Dr. Adam Glasgow.

I had BCBS with my first band and Harvard Pilgrim with my revision. Insurances vary by plans instituted at your company. The best thing to do for insurance questions is to call the 800 number on the back of your card.

Good luck!

I am having surgery at Lahey Clinic. So did you have a hard time getting approved?

No, I was approved within days of the center submitting it for approval.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
