Anyone know about just having insurance cover fills?



Recommended Posts

Hey! I have Blue Cross Blue Shield (Illinois) and they did not cover my surgery due to the fact that my company excluded it from their policy. I paid cash for surgery and I found out fills are going to be $300 afte the first 3 free ones. Does anyone know if insurance would cover just the fills since they are not surgery? Has anyone done this or heard of it? I was just curious cause I have amazing medical coverage and was bummed when they didnt cover surgery. I cant afford $300 a pop!

Wow my doctor included the first 3 years of fills for free.. but generally if insurance does not cover the surgery they dont cover the related fills or complications. Call and ask your insurance, but it is likely that anything "Weightloss" is excluded.

      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! 😞
