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

      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.
