Approved!

My surgery is scheduled for March 26. I started my preop diet today. 1000 calories 75 grams of Protein and 64oz of Water. So far so good. I'm super excited and nervous. I am ready to get this journey started. I haven’t told many people about the surgery. Just a few family members and my supervisors. They all have been very supportive throughout this process.

I have FEP BCBS and they approved me in 48 hours.

I too have BCBS Federal. What all did you have to submit to them to get approved? I am going through the process. Seeing my doctors and having tests. Just curious what you had to go though. And by the way, Congrats!

2 years weight history

3 month medically supervised diet

Psych clearance

Evidence of weight loss in the 1 year period
