Hi,

Where are all the March sleevers, I've seen a few but not any post recently. I am almost finished with all my the required medical approvals and classes but don't have an exact date yet.

Hi Everyone!

Surgery March 8th!

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.

No, it's a private group, so no one will see that you're in it or anything you post.
