July 2011 Bandsters!
gonnabehotagain replied to lifeisjustbeginning2011's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi everyone! I want to share a wonderful NSV that I had today. I wore my size 14 cami and large size long black skirt to my friend's pool party. It looked good! it did not require modification to put on or zip (it zips on side, fitted through abdomen)! I'm so excited! I tried it on a month ago and couldn't pull it over my breasts! Now, I just got a new outfit without spending a dime! I swear, going to my closet is like going to the mall where I already own it. I got my size medium BDU pants buttoned, but they are still too tight to wear - have major muffin top issues and no room to tuck in shirt. And they definitely did not pass the squat test. :-( but give it a few more weeks, and it will! :-) share some nsvs! -

Amy, I'm so sorry! @Lisa, thanks. Learning to avoid the trigger places. It is hard! -
Did anyone's BCBS cover them with a low BMI?

My file will be submitted to Carefirst BCBS (DC Plan) tomorrow (5/26) morning. Here are my vitals: Age 30 Female Height: 5'3" Type II Diabetes (diagnosed 5/10/2011) Hiatal Hernia Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease = Metabolic Disorder Weight at surgical consult: 205 Current Weight: 198 Goal Weight: 127 Carefirst BCBS through DC. Only insurance concern is that I have had two three month diet plans that went like this: My weight doctor: Visit 1/3/2011, visit 1/17/2011, 2/1/2011, 2.16.2011, 3/1/2011, and 3/17/2011, with a primary care visit in early April - should be OK for this one. My other weight program was a visit on I think 1/20/2010 and another visit on 4/9/2011 with a primary care visit on 1/21, blood work on 2/16 and a neurologist visit on 3/17/2010. I have good documentation of visits, receipts, medical notes, etc. but there could be an issue with the fact that I did not go to the weight specialist between 1/20/2010 and 4/9/2010.The insurance coordinator at Bluepoint Surgical group seems to think that we can get approval because my documentation is good and it shows that I have lost weight but can't keep it off. -
Hey Stunt Monkey, I live in VA and have carefirst BCBS through DC as well. My carefirst plan requires either a 6 month consecutive supervised diet or two three-month diets. My file is going to be submitted for (hopefully, KMFX) approval tomorrow morning by Bluepoint Surgical Group in Fairfax. good luck with your stuff!
