My NUT told me that the 6 consecutive visits with her would suffice....

Have a letter from BCBS that states the same requirements need to be met, hope there aren't any last minute surprises?

I would call the surgeons office and BCBSM to ensure that NUT notes count. The medical policy states Dr. Notes. I wasn't able to use progress notes from sad kin complex and I went for 6 months last year and was seen by nurse. So please check with your surgeon and the insurance

That's exactly what I was told that I need some kind of co morbidity issue. I'm not sure if I have sleep apnea I do have trouble sleeping but I'm not sure of that has anything to do with it and sometimes I gasp for air but that's not too often. I hope I don't get denied!!!

I don't remember a lot about comorbidities. But did extensively document knee and back pain. I didn't have any comorbidities.

Did they accept your knee and back pain issues?

Yes. They did. I went to the doc every time they acted up and had them prescribe meds for the pain.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
