I'm so angry...apparently I have split insurance of ghi and empire bc b's and ghi only needs 3 months but bcbs wants 6 months of weight loss efforts..so they denied my surgery..after ive spent money on protein shakes, mentally prepared myself for sugery with the 2 week diet and submitted fmla paper work..smh... Now I have to wait..and all i want to do now is eat my disappointment away...

I feel your pain. BCBS is really 7 appts with dietitian, the first being "0", for a firm 180 days. Then (at least for me) a month later for surgery in order to guarantee approval. Sux. On the bright side, enjoy the holidays, time will fly by (I hope). Plus, if you schedule the followups now, you'll get the most convenient time slots (I did).

Thank you for that...I'm in little Caesar...I feel better already

Sorry to hear that... but don’t give up on it ... it’s very worth it.

I won't. I'm actually going to keep doing the protein shakes Twice a day with one meal .so that I can still loose weight..I lost 9 pounds on pre op diet....mind as well keep that up.
