Autozone employees with BCBS IL?



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

My hubby and I are both in the pre-op phase and are awaiting approval. I'm just curious if anyone else out there is an Autozone employee with the PPO plan. And if so, how long it took for you to get your approval.

Thanks!

Do you know if there are any pre requirements?

While I don't have autozone, all that was required was the Psyc eval. Sent in on Friday to insurance and approved Monday morning. BCBSIL seems to be the most amazing company when it comes to approval. Good luck!!!

Also, there's a clause in my documents that allows for a Tummy Tuck if documented issues are proven. Can't wait for the 2nd best surgery I will ever have.

Prerequisites were BMI 40+, or 35+ with 1 comorbidity. psych eval, nut consult, pulmonary function test and EKG. We've completed all and are now awaiting approval.... The wait seems interminable! Surgeon also requires an EGD which we have scheduled. We can't schedule surgery until we get the approval, so I'm chomping at the bit for that approval!

      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! 😞
