Got Approved????



Recommended Posts

Just received my approval from BCBS. I'll be so glad to get rid of this band and start loosing weight and getting in shape! My surgeon requires an EDG and ultrasound of the gallbladder, that's my next step and then I'll get my surgery date.

Yes I had to get the psych eval before my doc would submit it to insurance.

Congrats on the approval!

Thanks!

Did you have slippage,hernia or band erosion in order to get revision approval?

No thankfully I don't have any problems like that. I've had to have all Fluid removed. So many issues with trying fills then having to get unfilled. The band just didn't work for me. My cardiologist actually thinks it's causing my high heart rate issues. She specializes in electro-cardiology and has seen this issues in several lap band patients. So thankful my insurance covers the revision. Surgery on Monday the 17th. I'm excited and ready to go????

Wow, I'm counting my blessings. The only requirement I had was the barrium swallow results, list of my mediations, list of my vital signs from my last 6 month primary doc visits and lapband surgical report. My Bariatric doctor submitted to insurance early in the AM about 9ish, I got the call of approval at 2pm that same day. Surgery was 2 weeks later. I must of been in worse shape than I thought. jake

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
