I have BCBS of Pennsylvania Insurance and I have a 6 month period where I have to be trying other things to lose weight. BTW they said if I had done other things in the past 2 yrs I can put that on file. I was wondering how could I get around that. I have done every diet out there. I am shooting for December to do the surgery.

If your insurance require it, u have to do it, or u can do self pay. Do u have any dieting that u done that was documented by your provider? BCBS most of them require a 6 month medically supervised diet. Meaning through a doctor. Some will take dated pictures or programs like weight watchers.

See if any other appointments count...I have BCBS of Iowa and I had to do the six month diet too, but my coordinator has a really good relationship with the insurance company and they counted my initial surgery consult and my meeting the next month with my NUT as two months so I only had to do the actual dieting for four months. Good luck!

      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'. ???

        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.

      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!
