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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
