I tried to get approved years ago with BCBS. When I called for an update weeks later was told I was denied. Right after my bday this year. May 25. I went to the doc and she asked if I wanted surgery. I said let's try see what they say. This time They called ME! I was finally approved. First appointment July 21. No diet requirements. Excited scared nervous. Anyone near Chicago go to Loyola? How was it?

Me too found out last week

Going in for sleeve in morning.

When you going?

Crazy how some Surgeons require us to go on pre op diets n some don't..

FROM HOUSTON HERE...

I have a small cold just came on today and I wanted to take Day quail some say it's ok some say they have been on antibiotics and still got the surgery.

Going to meet the surgeon July 21. No dates set yet. My first appointment. See the psychologist in October. Hopefully right after. Before end of year i hope

Congratulations to both of you! Best of luck!

Congrats to you I'm super excited for you. I just had my surgery on the 9th I'm 2weeks post-op I'm still on liquids & can't wait to here more about your journey.

God Bless ya

Congrats. So nervous about the whole process.

Congrats!!!

Had my first appointment yesterday. So much to do. Hopefully surgery by the end of the year. Surgeon said bypass is best for me. Need an EGD, EKG, mammogram, pap, sleep study, blood work and then wait for insurance

Why do u need a mammogram n a paper smear what does that have to do w bariatric surgery?

So what happened?

My mammogram the doctor said to get done since it was annual. The Pap because i had an abnormal result in the past. All of that is done. Just have to fu with nutritionist next week. Then fitted for CPAP week after. Surgery should be first of the year

Great news! Doctor office is submitting paperwork to the insurance tomorrow! Now the wait begins. How long does that take? BCBS of Tennessee
