Submitted Today Anthem BCBS!



Recommended Posts

I was surprised in a way but not really, Anthem BCBS denied me in two days the first time. I just anticipated at least weeks, I'm so excited I was approved and will not have to go to Mexico. Good Luck to all who are still waiting on approval :)

Congrats on your approval!! I am curious. I saw the doctor today and he said I was a candidate, my surgery was scheduled along with post-op appts. Does this mean I'm in the clear with everything or is this a formality?

Congratulations! I am coming out of creepy lurker status to comment on this thread because we seem to have very similar stats and I am wondering if you had co-morbities or did you submit on BMI only?

I have Anthem BCBS as well and my paperwork was submitted on 1/30 and I am still waiting on approval. :(. I called on Friday and they said it was under review but they had a certain number of business days they were allowed to take to review. I am starting to worry just a little bit!

Maybe with luck I will get an answer this week and we might end up both being March Sleevers!

I only submitted with BMI but my legs hurt and my bp is up and down so we went with that as well.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
