Co-morbidities
Ballermom replied to chocolate_macchiato's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Got denied today. The insurance coordinator submitted my info with the diagnosis of "obesity". My bmi is 42.8. Which is morbid. Obesity. So it sounds like that must be the diagnosis. But BCBS il , is even saying that my policy excluded it. Now I'm getting the run around. I have called my Hr etc. but the diagnosis I think is the problem. I have osteoarthritis and Migraine headache. -
Hi Today, I called the coordinator and she submitted my case to BCBS il on the 12/27 So, I call the insurance and they denied me. Smh Saying that my policy recently excluded WLS and the diagnosis of Obesity. My weight is 257. Now I'm getting the run around. Because I believe most of their info isn't true. They have told me since last July that I'm covered.

If you were a binge eater before
Ballermom replied to amytug's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I am an Emotional eater. My problem is Going long long periods at work without eating. My work is stressful and busy during that time I have no appetite . But after work i hunger for salty crunchy Popcorn after work, only once in a while though. I have a food and soda -cocktail - like . Not Alcohol but. Ive talked with the Psych person about. They called me an emotional eater. I m concern enough i won't risk my sleeve for popcorn! Just concern about my emotions! Because I've dropped my craving for most unhealthy foods but a few. I Especially kicked my addiction to Cake! And it was my BFF! Not joking! I had one for everyones birthday in my house, and certainly all holidays. when most didn't even want none at all. i would eat off it for days and some times I'd get so mad about my addiction, enough id throw almost whole cakes away. I loved specially made cake so much that i even had a personal Baker on speed dial, yall. Now i haven't had cake in 4 months and don't crave it! Yay! Saving me money. Lol I made it even though having 4 occasion to Celebrate with it ! -
