I have Federal BCBS and I live overseas. I called today and was told that I didn't need prior approval BECAUSE I live in Europe. I asked the rep..."are you sure? I don't want a $20K bill coming to me!" She showed me in the Benefit summary where it states that precertification does not apply when living overseas. I'm thankful she didn't get annoyed because I asked her 3 times to be sure.

I'm calling the surgeon tomorrow to get the ball rolling! Thank you GOD! :rolleyes: I'm ready for this new season of my life..my new lifestyle.

I have FED BCBS and was just approved the other day. it only took 2 days from the date doctor submitted. Surgery is Oct 24.

Congratulations!! I'm looking to get banded in December. I got too much going on and that's the best time for me to take leave. I'll be praying for your success.

So...first CSR I spoke with LIED...I do have to go through the pre approval process even though I'm in an overseas location! So now I have to find an English speaking nutritionist (had found one but she wants me to do Herbal Life instead...go figure) ANSI have to find a psychologist.

But a delay is NOT a denial!!! I will have lap band surgery. I will change my life. I will NOT be discouraged but encouraged.

Ok...had to get that out. Now back to the drawing board to have my life-changing surgery!

Keep me in your prayers please. I want to be a success story too.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
