I have anthem blue cross plus I think that's the same. I only had 1 nut eval and 1 psych eval. The psychiatrist I saw wanted me to have 1 more session with a psychiatrist of my choice ( she was concerned that I had issues with negative body image..... um maybe a little lol). The other requirement was bmi > 40 or > 35 with comorbidities . My bmi is 36 and I have hypertension and sleep apnea. Once my paperwork was sent in, I was approved in 5 days.

My surgeon required me to do a lot of tests before they submitted for approval. He said he wanted to present a really good case.

My medical group is Hills Physicians. I also had to meet their requirements to have it completely paid for. Otherwise my blue cross plan would cover 70%

      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! 😞
