Blue Shield PPO- do u need to wait 6 months for surgery?
ChunkyAndFluffy75 replied to bethk12@gmail.com's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well i have BCBS PPO and i have to do the samething. I go monthly to my surgeons office for weight management and they have been tracking everything for the insurance company. Don't feel discouraged and the six months will fly by. I have my 4th appointment on 8/1/11 and will complete all the insurance requirements by the first week in October. YOU CAN DO IT!!!! -
The Easy Way Out

Way to go girl, you tell her. People need to learn how to do their jobs and mind their own business. She was way out of line for bringing up her weight loss and giving you advice. Would she tell a cancer patient how to cure herself naturally? People think we are overweight because we are lazy and don’t try. Which is bull, I have struggled and struggled my whole life and know how you must have felt. Good for you for sticking up for yourself. -

Does everyone have to jump through hoops to get approval from the insurance company.

I have to complete six weight management visits with my doctor, complete a psychological evaluation, meet a nutritionist, have my gallbladder scanned and do lab work. Is this the normal procedures? My BMI is 48 I thought that alone would get me a quick approval but no I have had to wait and be patient and I am ready now for the surgery. -

Thank you for all the advise. I have completed half of my requirements and should be done completely by the first week of October. So i am hoping to have my surgery in November. I have taken the time to read alot of blogs and watch alot of youtube videos to get an idea about what to expect. I am just so excited about changing my life and really begining to live and not just survive. You have been a great deal of help
