Cynthia if you don't mind me asking what are your stats? I have the same insurance. I have a 37.7 BMI and waiting to hear back about sleep Apnea. If I don't have that my only comorbidities are high cholesterol and reflux. Thanks and congrats!

@heatwhip. I got approved w/surgery date 3/25. I also have Anthem BCBS. My BMI is 37.3, but I snore a lot, (according to my husband), so I had a sleep study and was DX with having obstructive sleep apnea. I sent over paper work from the Dr. giving a DX of severe sleep apnea w/o me even having the sleep study completed and they approved me with just that w/o the actual study being done. My insurance coordinator fax paperwork to insurance company and I was approved that day. I found out by calling my case manager my self. Good luck to you

This just made my night! Nothing worse than thinking about something for 3 months and then finding out it isn't going to happen. That has been my biggest fear!

My BMI is 37.8 and the only co-morbitities were reflux and high cholesterol and I was approved 1.5 days after it was submitted to insurance. I have BCBS of Illinois, but I wasn't even required to do a sleep study. You should be fine with or without the sleep apnea.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
