I am double covered 2 bcbsal. My primary ins. Has a bariatric exclusion on it, but my secondary will cover wls. I tried to have the lap band in "09" and the ins. Lady there said I would have to drop my primary ins. In order for them to have my wls approved. I did that and ended up getting denied anyway ( thank God). My husband changed jobs so I was able to pick my ins. Back up and now getting ready to submit info to bcbs next months and not wanting anything to prolong my time I asked the ins lady at this office about it and she said I wouldn't have to drop my primary ins. They would submit to the primary and let them deny it and then file to the secondary ins. And they SHOULD pick it up.....Idk and I don't like not knowing. Anybody have clue on this???? I did have 1 doctors visit denied because of a wl code was used as the first Dx?!?!?!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
