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!

      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! 😞
