BC/BS Southern California



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

Does anyone have BC/BS in Southern California that has gone through the Insurance song and dance and has been successful getting approved.

I had tried last year when my company went from Preudential to BC/BS and I chose an EPO plan. When I tried applying for the surgery through several doctors I was denied becasue they said that the EPO I was under didn't cover it. So I had to wait a year when I can change my plan to a PPO to re-apply. But I'm worried that I will still have the same problem so I wanted to know if anyone out there has had any sucess and can give me some suggestions.

Wish me luck. I need it to save my own ife.

Thanks

I have blue cross of southern california and it was easy as can be within 3 months of starting the whole process i was banded! and they were very fast in authorizing the surgery, i knew the day after my surgeon sent them all the paperwork that afternoon they called and told me i was approved, hopefully it goes as smoothly for you,where you trying to get banded?

Hi,

Thanks for sharing. Did you have the EPO or PPO plan?

I haven't decided where to go yet. You have any recomendations? How long ago did you get banded?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
