I have BCBS of IL too, I live in Alabama. You didn't have to do the 6month waiting period? I am new to this, I go to my free seminar on 7-14-12, so I'm just trying to find out as much as I can.

Hi Mandy,

The 6month waiting period was lifted back In February. :)

I did however, have some requirements by bcbs il. Number one was:

-BMI has to be certain #

-blood and EKG

-2 nutritionist counseling sessions

-phyc evaluation

-call the disability outreach program (though I dont know what the heck for. They were of no assistance to me. I didn't wanna file disability lol)

BCBS IL was FAST at approving me! It took them 3days for a decision. It will be different for all of us but I just want to give u as much Insight on my experience with them a possible. I remember I was very curious a well!

Feel free to PM me if u have any questions at all, I'm more than happy to help!!

Banded 7/5/2012 :)

      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.
