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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
