6 month weigh ins for insurance approval bc/bs of AL



Recommended Posts

Hi guys and gals,

I'm a newbie and went to my first seminar 2 weeks ago.

I was told I have to do the 6 month dr supervised diet/weigh in for bc/bs of AL.

How long after your last weigh in does it take to get the approval letter?

Thanks to all who respond!

I have BCBS of PA. I did the 6 month supervised diet and once my paperwork was submitted, I was approved within 2 work days.

I'm in Al but my BC/BS is out of NJ. I did the 6 month diet thing, then saw a nutritionist, then a psychogist who said I had issues and needed to spend more money on him. When I said no the letter he sent to the insurance company made them deny me. I then went to a psychatrist who said there was nothing wrong with me. She sent a new letter and a month later I'm scheduling my surgery day. I have been chasing this for about three years. I wanted to be absolutley sure I wanted this. May 31 is comining!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
