Unsure, too.

My employer is moving from UHC to BCBS-SC in Jan.

It'll be a couple weeks before I know a thing.

U would think all bcbs plans are d same but its not!..if ur bcbs homeplan is nc its a different jurisdiction and nc bcbs does not require 6 months weight in...eh sc bcbs requires it....

Btw just is case u dont know yet, you can sign up to mybcbstoolkit.com as a bcbs member and u will see ur approval status there everyday instead of waiting for a call or a letter in mail...lol i log in everyday to see if its already approved...if not appeoved, it should say pending or denied.

Also does anyone here uses cpap machine?..will the insurance check the sd card to see if we r really using it?.

Nways good luck and best wishes to all of us and keep us posted if u hear anything from ur insurance!..god bless y'all!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
