I cant believe i am doing this



Recommended Posts

So I finally applied for horizon today since my school insurance doesn't cover bariatric surgery but horizon does.. Anyone knows if horizon blue cross blue shoes epo plus makes you wait the 3months/6months before approved? Please please please share.... I'm in the process f getting cleared from my cardiologist only 3 more tests to go woohooo :) .. I found out that I have a little high cholesterol and blood pressure. I am finally a BMI of 35.5... This should be enough right? I'm ready for my sleeve today too but I will have to probably wait grr

BMI of 35.5..

donaboss

you wrote this about 6 weeks ago :o

i can be slow to respond :D

hope you are still hanging around :)

having a BMI of 35.5 is on the low side for being approved :(

but, many others have been approved and you have comorbities too

things can be crazy

its like insurance wants you to weigh more (having a higher bmi) and have many physical problems

then they can decide if you are fat enough and sick enough to have WLS!!!!

hope things went/go well with insurance

good luck

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
