I was just wondering if it would be wrong of me to call HR asking about the additional 3000 co pay it has for biatric surgery. I have read other posts that other BCBS does not have that extra co pay. I'd like to know if they will still have that and or maybe ask if they can get rid of that extra....lol. Silly I know but I can not afford that. I do have plans or changing our plan policy to one that covers more with lower decductible and co pays, which means more deduction on my hubby's paycheck. As like everyone else we live on a budget and we can't do a extra loan. Any one have any thoughts or experiences with the same issue I am going through? Thanks, Teri

I changed my healthcare to a ppo plan from an *** at the beginning of this year. It was more expensive per month, but there was less of a waiting period to get approved for the surgery.

You could call to find out if the company has plans to change their policy limits.

Hope you get a solution.

      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.
