I was scheduled for March 18. My docs office submitted to my insurance (BCBSNC) and the insurance company immediately denied it because they said my docs hospital was not a blue "distinction" hospital. When I began this journey I specifically asked my insurance if the hospital was a distinction center and they told me they were. Also' date=' my docs office confirmed this before my first visit. Now they say there is nothing I can do except find a blue distinction center. I'm hoping that I won't have to go through the entire process again. Looking on the bright side, I could possibly get an earlier surgery date.[/quote']

Fergie0308, what happened with your surgery? Did you get BCBSNC to cover it? I have them also and are just about ready to submit for approval so I'm really curious to hear your story. The only doctor I could find is also not in a blue distinction hospital but I don't recall reading anything about that as a requirement under the BCBSNC coverage guidelines. Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

Hey Linda, do you use Facebook? A lot of us March sleevers are in a private Facebook group.

I was sleeved on March 18th. I've lost about 108 pounds. I had a lot to lose though. But I'm in a very frustrating 2-week stall right now. I hope it breaks soon.

Hi Tim :) Yes I use FB. If I'm added to the group will it show up on my newsfeed or anything like that?? I didn't tell anyone I was sleeved, lots of judging people.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
