I have Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and my claim was submitted last week. I am still in shock! My weight is 235 and my height is 5'4". I should also mention that I have high blood pressure so I'm sure that had a lot to do with it.

I also have Anthem Blue Cross (***, California) -- did either of you have to do 6 months of supervised dieting? If no, did you have to submit any kind of proof that you had had unsuccessful dieting in the past? Hoping I won't have a difficult, lengthy process...

I have the same insurance too, and would love to know exactly what your doctor had to submit for you. Congrats on the quick approval! I so hope mine is quick once submitted.

      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.
