Waiting on Anthem BCBS OH



Recommended Posts

Went to last appointment Tuesday. As of today insurance says they don't see in system but the visit is showing on the web page.

They told me to call back Wed and I don't want to pressure but they are closed Thursday and Friday.

They should at least have it by now, no?

Also to add, my insurance will cost a lot more come Jan 1 so pushing for December

Yes keep calling them! I have called every day! Called yesterday and found out my sleep study was never sent in with the paper work the first time. Sooooooooooo they mailed it out to them?????? Anyways as soon as that gets done she said it shouldn't take but a day for them to decide.(BCBS told me this) They are very helpful and friendly ! GOOD LUCK. My insurance changes as well on Jan 1st so it's very important to me too to have it done before the first of the year or else they will have to send it again to another insurance company :( I went ahead and started on my pre op liquid diet so I would be ready when they call ya know! Keep me updated .

I just called and they said they received it on the 23rd I was so embarrassed when he asked how many times I called on it. He said it can take up to 5 business days so he will call me personally on a before the first and he'll keep his eye on it. I know they're off Thursday and Friday so of course I'm on pins and needles

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      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.
