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?!?!?!

      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! 😞
