Hello everyone, I have BCN of MI and I was approved with no issues, I had to do 6 months of supervision. I lost and gained 10 lbs or so. There was no WL requirement but I was sure when I went to checkup close to 6 months that I was down. I have since gained but my date is 3/25/14. I start my pre opp diet this coming Monday 3/10/14. I went through Beaumont of Royal Oak MI. As long as paperwork is turned in with data that says you need the surgery BCN of MI is no problem. I just wanted to share this info -_-

Me too! I have BCBS and was approved same day. BCN took a little longer 2 days. Having managed care insurance complicates things. I'm scheduled 3/14, good luck to you.

I am also going through Beaumont! May I ask, which surgeon did you choose...Chengelis or Krause? How long did it take to get in with them? My 6 month appt at the Beaumont Weight Center is the first week of April- I am hoping to have a surgery date sometime in May.

Good luck to you, your date is coming up quickly! :)

Hi Annie & friends, I have chosen Dr Chengelis. I had my pre opp apt with him last week. He is very nice and I first met him at seminar. He also has good reviews and I like his personality, knowledge and humor. I will have my sleeve surgery 3/25.

Bcn's approval letter takes a lil time for you to get it. I recommend calling the dr office, my coordinator confirmed within 2 days because she was able to look in their database to see if I was approved.

Since I am having my lap band removed and wanting the sleeve, BCN, who did NOT pay for the band surgery, is saying they will not pa for my sleeve, any of it! Even tho, when I bought the policy, I made sure they would cover 50% as their policy stated. Please keep us up on this.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
