Bad Credit And No Job..can I Still Get Approved For A Load For Surgery?



Recommended Posts

Ask me as many questions as you can! Thats why we come here, I am glad I can help you :) You have to call Blue cross (the number should be on the back of your card) and tell them who you want to change your primary care provider to. Before you do that, You should try calling some local Urgent Cares and make sure they see pateints on a regular basis, confirm they are not part of a Medical Group and then ask if their Dr."s are willing to send referals out for weightloss surgery. Hopefully that should cover it :)

ok im doin that now lol, thank you. i may be askin some more soon!!! im so glad i found someone here who has the same insurance and is not to far away

Hhhmmm, The next step would be to call around to clinics and other places that accept blue cross Medi-cal and ask if they are part of a Medical Group. Or better yet, you could possibly get info from Blue cross themselves and ask them?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
