My husband works for UPS and we have TeamCare/BCBS Illinois insurance. Just wondering if anyone else has had to go through the approval process with them. How long did it take? Was it difficult, etc.

Insurance Approval
cherie1303 replied to cherie1303's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well mine was denied and an appeal was sent in late May. Still haven’t heard anything. I checked with my insurance company and they said they said my case will be in front of the appeals committee on Oct 9th. I’m so praying they approve it this time!! -

Thank y’all! My insurance received all the paperwork on the 10th of this month and I still haven’t heard anything. Fingers crossed. -
Sorry misread that, I guess you just a little over month. Still, how's it going?

I know its been months since you started this thread gingy, but I just had banded plicaton on Sept 4th of this year. Like you I feel sort of alone because I cant find many who have had it. How are you doing now? -

Lap Band With Plication
cherie1303 replied to amandaakadeda's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So glad to read this. I had banded plication last Tuesday and I felt no restriction when drinking from the very first day. I was thinking "did he really even do anything"? haha Of course I have not tried to eat solid food yet so we will see. -
I had banded plication last Tuesday. Its not exactly the sleeve in that with the sleeve they remove a portion of your stomach and with banded plicaton they sort uf just fold your stomach up to the same size as it would be if you had the sleeve with our removing any portion of your stomach and then they add the band as an added weight loss mearure.
