Tx BCBS approved me on 1st try this was in Dec. 2011 I didn't tell a lot of people but word did get out. I feel alittle watched now but not going to let it get Me down. Make sure you tell the people you do tell that you want to keep it private. -

Borderline Low Bmi- No Co Morbities?? Can I Be Approved??
twi replied to VP611's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
When I started this I didn't have co morbidity but I started checkups at Dr and I did have high colestrol high bp I just didn't knw about it. I also have foot problems so that helped. Even a slight increase requireing Meds can help your insurance approve it. Start the wt 6 month wt loss program with Dr now sooner the better and it goes by fast really! -

Has anyone else had to do another surgery so close to being banded. I had to plan this way since my insurance chafed in Jan. And I've met all payouts. Juat wondered if you survived. Lol anything I might need to prepare for ect. -
Start a Dr supervised diet make sure the list 6 visit over 6 months as diet not matter what other text they run . This sounds so long but it really goes by fast. Most ons. Refuire this. No pressureon this diet since failing it is how you get approved. Go figure. Lol
