Last appointment the 24th BCBS Empire. So many questions.



Recommended Posts

Is anyone looking at the same time frame as me? And for people who have BCBS what was the process once you finished your 6 month diet. Did you get approved? What was your BMI? I'm on the lower scale just under 40 BMI but for my first official weight in I was like 42BMI and my coordinator said that's all that matters. I'm very anxious and worried.

I like you am a BCBS client. I only had to do four moths with NUT. My paperwork is at BCBS so it's the waiting game. Let's both be optimistic and get ready for change

I hope you get a fast approval. :)

I'm following this thread. I have Empire BCBS too. At my initial appointment my BMI was 39.2 (I had a previous sleep apnea diagnosis) but after receiving my new sleep study I've learned that I no longer have sleep apnea. I still have two months to go in the process but I'm nervous about approval if I'm not at a BMI of over 40. I've gained a little weight (which my nutritionist says I shouldn't) so now I'm nervous about that too.

Hoping you get approved!

Hoping the best for you too. You still have two months to get that weight a little lower. My surgeons office put a lot of emphasis on me losing weight as I may be denied but my mother who got the same surgery a few years ago from the same Doctor gained a bunch and still got hers so it could just be a personal preference of the Surgereon. My last appointment is in 5 days so I am so nervous!

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
