My insurance doesn't require it and they aren't clearly stated like aetna. But I'm worried they'll deny because I have such a large range.

I have a little less than 2 months before we submit for approval. My weight fluctuates a lot (were talking almost 10 lbs), and at my first class my weight was up. So now I'm so worried I will be denied because of it. I'm trying to stay under my first weight to *hopefully* make up for it. Has anyone been denied for their weight fluctuations? ??

Hi everyone! I'm just officially starting my WLS journey and my insurance has been pretty vague with myself and the doctors office. I called before I signed up for my seminar and they wouldn't tell me if gastric sleeve was covered or not. Then once my doctors office called before my first consultation, they wouldn't tell them if I have to go to 3 or 6 months of classes. So now we're going to try 3 and submit , and then I may have to do 3 more. Do any of you have issues with them being wishy washy? I also get different answers to questions (no matter the subject) every time I call.

I called them today and they still couldn't tell me if I was required classes or not. Just that I have to have medical clearance from my pcp, a phsyc eval and proof of my weight for the last two years. But i already know about those requirements. Looks like I'll try to submit after my third class.

I haven't been able to.find good detailed info on our site. It's capital blue cross and blue shield. And the book is just the same.

That's good to know! Maybe I'll try and call tomorrow and see what they say. Although, it's different every time anyway. :/
