Watiting on Approval!! Anthem BCBS Help!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I have started the process for my band, and have a few questions. I have Anthem BCBS of SC, and was wondering if there approval time is fast or slow? I have had my Nutritionist and Psycologist appt, I've received my referral from my primary physician, and now am waiting for insurance approval. Anybody know. I am very excited to start this journey after many years of diet pills and yo yo dieting. I am a 33 year old married mother of two and look forward to my new life, with the full support of my husband, children, family and my whole church family. Thanks for reading my post and look forward to receiving some answers.

Thanks!:thumbup:

Good luck!! I hope you hear something really soon. I have BCBS of IL, but am currently doing my 6 months supervised weightloss program, so I am still in the waiting stages. Hope you get a quick quick approval and a very quick surgery date too! Good luck!

Good luck with the weightloss program. I too have tried diet pills (phentermine) and Health Weigh Weight Loss plus many other diets I yoyo'd on. I'll keep you in my prayers, and let me know how it's going, and I'll do the same.

Have a Great Day!

I have Highmark BCBS and I have had my paperwork submitted to the ins. co since 7/7 and just had to submit additional paperwork today.

Good luck on your journey

I have Anthem BCBS in KY and it took less than 3 weeks from the time my surgeon submitted the paperwork until they approved.

Good luck!

      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!
