Currently I have bcbsil ppo but I'm nervous about being approved... I'm so excited yet feeling discouraged at the same time

I had them and it took less than 2 weeks to get my approval. Good luck!

I, too, have BCBSIL and I was going through this process last year. Last year, they had several requirements, which they dropped as of this year. It is much easier and I had no problem getting approved when I applied this year.

I have BCBS of IL and I work for BCBS of IL. The criteria to be approved is much easier than it has been in the past. We are seeing a lot of people getting approved very quickly. GOOD LUCK!!

Well I have the PPO plan. I know with *** there is more requirements and you need a referral from your doctor plus the 6 month diet plan

I have the anthem ppo by BCBS of Il and when the dr. Submitted they said they no longer required the six month nutritionist consult but that did require the phycological evaluation.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
