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!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
