Mine was sent to BCBS-IL on Thursday and I got denied yesterday. It was over wanting another letter from the doctor. I was told almost everyone gets denied first time. But it was only a 6 day period for them to get my denial. So now I'm waiting to see how long it takes to get the approval.

I have bcbs of il, I was approved in 1 day, but I kept calling them and checking on the status, idk of that helped or not, but the lady did say that I must be really lucky because most get denied the first time just had all of our paperwork lined up they even called me to let me knOw it was approved! So sugery is the 29th!

WOW Christy you are lucky. They denied me because my doctors letter had all the information on it but they wanted it written different or even seperated. Are you kidding me? I think it has a lot to do with the fact that if they deny people maybe some won't reapply and those people don't really want it anyways. Only the people who truly want it fight for it.

      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.
