I started taking the Tespo vitamins about four weeks ago and am curious to see what my blood work looks like next month. I still have to take a iron, B12 and D supplements but those are easy. I am SO very glad to not have to carry those big honking wafers around with me. I really didn't enjoy them. This dispenser is wonderful. I will report back after my April 27 annual physical and blood work. Finally, I have to admit, I have never felt better than when I started these vitamins.

Deb, Did BC make you do six-months of dieting? They let me do WW on-line. I submitted copies of my records. I'm in Arlington, VA and have BC as well. I finally got approved and am scheduled for surgery next Thursday. Good luck to you! Judy

Wow Big08, they had you start the slim-fast early. I'm glad I only have to do a week of it. I'm dreading it. Not drinking it but not eating food. Guess it's just the first step of controlling my intake! -
BCBS 6 month required diet-need advice
muttsrule replied to heather113076's topic in Insurance & Financing
I have BC/BS Carefirst and was told by the doctor I consulted with that they are requiring a six-month supervised UNSUCCESSFUL weight loss attempt. The six months must be consecutive and they will also consider a six-month COMMERCIAL supervised attempt. My problems are: 1) I can LOSE weight, that isn't the problem. I can't keep it off is the problem. 2) I don't have the funds to support a six-month supervised diet program and insurance doesn't cover it. 3) Even if I had the money, if the goal is to FAIL, what am I supposed to do??? PRETEND to be trying to lose weight? The whole thing is so incredibly stupid.
