Hi. I have health insurance with my job . The highest plan ppo premium and I would like to get the sleeve. I meet all the requirements but I’m scared that my plan dies not cover it and my plan goes in effect Nov.1 and I am scared they will deny me due to I just got covered. Help anyone have bcbstx health insurance? Does anyone know if I can still try to apply for the surgery even thou it’s my first month being covered?

Are you starting a new job or just changing insurance companies at your place of employment... that is what makes the difference. IF it is a new job you may want to ask about coverage but it is a new insurance company they should cover anything your other company covered.

Hi. I went from Prn to full time and now I am Entitled to benefits HR says is covered but insurance company says it’s not covered but then again they can’t look at the policy and so I have my policy my ID number which I don’t have now because he doesn’t take affect until November

Not sure about the being new thing, but I also have bcbstx and my sleeve surgery was covered 80/20 after my deductible was met.

Hopefully things will work out for you!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
