  1. Nrg33... you & I are in the same shoes!! Oy ve'...this was not as I had planned it, but it is what it is. I'm still in shock yet somewhat happy. I found out on Christmas and then after 3 home tests decided to go into Planned Parenthood and get tested again. Yep. I'm pregnant. I called my Bariatric team this morning (which is 2 hours away) and was told I would get a phone call back. A nurse calls me back within in the hour and tells me to take Prenatal Vitamins and continue taking my Calcium citrate, B-12, & Prilosec. I asked her what about follow up with them and she said normal scheduled follow ups. That's it. Two thoughts run through my head after this conversation... A. Am I being shunned or punished because I accidentally got pregnant 7 months past my surgery B. Is this how they treat all pregnancies... and if so WTF?!? Today I've been hunting for a mid wife but I think I might need to seek a Doc under these special circumstances.
  2. Has anyone had to appeal with Federal BCBS? Outcome? How long does it take to get an answer after appealing? Thanks~

    Federal BCBS has apparently denied me for VSG

    Anumarie I so feel your frustration. I too just got denied through Federal BCBS on March 11th. I've helped the Care Coordinator @ the hospital compile chart notes, & other info. My surgeon was going to do a 'Peer to Peer' but I was notified earlier this week that Oregon BCBS doesn't do Peer to Peer. It's so dang frustrating & I HATE playing the waiting game. My best advice to you (and me) is stay positive & proactive.... And appeal that Shiz!!!
