Insurance Coverage Blue Cross

The whole process went quickly for me because I found out what I had to do & did it all quickly. Call your ins. tell them what your doing & ask them what you need to do next. Usually after that you go to you PMC & talk to them & they talk to your ins. find a surgen {I found mine right on here} go to info seminar your surgen gives meet w/ surgen & they will help from there! HOPE THIS HELPS!! :thumbup: -

Hi there! I have bcbs of Mass. I have heard they are one of the easiest for getting approved & fastest! I had NO problems they approved mine in about a week :thumbup: I've heard of some only waiting a day! I had No medical issues either. You need to be about 100 lbs over weight {by the charts the dr use}. good luck! If you have any ?? let me know! :drool: -

Of course! everyones nervous! You wouldn't be human if you weren't :-) I would start thinking about it & get myself saying " what if ". I just couldn't over think it lol!

I've already lost 12 lbs! the starving for a while will be worth it lol! Hang in!! -

I think I've done well w/ pain too. I don't have gas pain just been passing a lot :thumbdown:. My belly... by where my port is {I think} is where I am starting to hurt now. Only if I bend over or get up. I am really getting hungry & having hunger pains now. Dealing w/ head hunger too. My head actually feels dizzy & cloudy today. odd, I don't know why it's just happening now.???? I'm down 12 lbs today!!!! :drool::thumbup::thumbup: including my wk pre op diet. That's enough to keep me going!! I'm so glad I did this. I can't believe I'm actually gonna be thin again!!!!!!! :crying: Hang in there everyone! We'll do this together!!!! :cursing: -

I totally understand what your saying. In her defense she just had surgery & maybe she's not up to doing much yet. :biggrin: Mc'd's is ok once in awhile. I'm sure she doesn't give it to her kids on a regular basis. :dita: I had my surgery the same day as her & I have three little ones all under 6yrs old. As, you can imagine it's not easy. :tongue: Please understand I am not trying to be fresh in anyway. I'm just seeing her side too. :-) -
