BCBS IL 3 MONTH SUPERVISED DIET



Recommended Posts

Anyone else out there with BCBS IL PPO who has done the 3-month supervised diet who can tell me exactly what to document. All of my paperwork will be done by the end of April, but found out I have to do the 3-month supervised diet and I don't want to mess this up and have to do it all over again for another 3 months! My main concern is where it says on the requirements about "exercise counselling" and "behavioral" modification. Is this something my regular physician and I can discuss and document on each visit or am I required to actually see a trainer or a counsellor? I'm going to do Weight Watchers on line and have monthly weigh ins and appts with my doctor, and I'm wondering if the help tools on the WW site for exercise and behavioral will suffice. Geesh I hope this all makes sense because I had my 1st visit with the surgeon today and blood work and my head feels like it is going to explode. So much to take in!!! Any help with pinning down exactly what BCBS wants documented will help me tremendously! I'm thinking of making up a little cheat sheet maybe for my doc to dictate from so that he puts in everything that needs to be there!

Thanks a bunch everyone!

In this forum there is another post that asks about BCBS. Your BCBS 3 month ordeal sounds like it's probably what I had to forego. The post is titled "BCBS and 3 month dietitian, what do they expect. Check it out.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
