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.

      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! 😞
