Approved BCBS FEP



Recommended Posts

OMG, they just submitted it (I think late Monday). I'm approved. I have butterflies. I'm not telling anyone at work, so I had to jump online to tell someone. I'm telling y'all!!!!

My cardiologist had "cleared" me for surgery but in his notes, recommended I see a pulmonologist (I wheezed during my stress echo). The first available was Feb. 8th. Not happy so I'm going to look for someone outside the hospital. The surgeon said I have to see a pulmonologist before he gives me a date. If I can see the pulmonologist within a week., he'll see about scheduling me late January. Which would be perfect.

:(

Congratulations! BCBS FEP approved mine in two days, too. I am retired now, but carry it as a secondary to Medicare. It is the best insurance I have ever had ever.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
