Insurance you're killing me



Recommended Posts

I had received my phone call telling me I had been approved, on the 29th of October, however today I get a call telling me that yes they received the verbal approval but my letter has not been received. I too have not received this letter. I have sat on hold for over 45 minutes while they pass me around from person to person. Ahhhh... my surgery date is on the 17th. I don't not want to yet again postpone it due to insurance... so many emotions right now.... could use some prayers everything works out and surgery continues as planned.

Insurance can be a pain in the butt. Hang in there and it will all come together .

Hang in there! I got an approval email saying they were forwarding my records to the surgeon. It was probably another week after that before I got the official letter, and then a second week before I heard from the surgeon. There's a lot of waiting involved, but it's so worth it in the end!

@@tlowry I'm super sorry to hear that. I guess i shouldn't complain I don't know if I could wait 2 years. You probably have no sympathy for me. Hang in there though! Good vibes to you

@@taweedeegirl because the insurance wont round my BMI of 39.5 to 40 for years 2013-2014 and according to BSBC federal, I have to be of 40 BMI or greater (with no comordities). So Bluepoint has to submit my weight from 2014 and 2015 at the beginning of 2016. It's so frustrating....

      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?

      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.
