Last appointment the 24th BCBS Empire. So many questions.

[Amurillo04 109]

Is anyone looking at the same time frame as me? And for people who have BCBS what was the process once you finished your 6 month diet. Did you get approved? What was your BMI? I'm on the lower scale just under 40 BMI but for my first official weight in I was like 42BMI and my coordinator said that's all that matters. I'm very anxious and worried.

I like you am a BCBS client. I only had to do four moths with NUT. My paperwork is at BCBS so it's the waiting game. Let's both be optimistic and get ready for change

I hope you get a fast approval.

I'm following this thread. I have Empire BCBS too. At my initial appointment my BMI was 39.2 (I had a previous sleep apnea diagnosis) but after receiving my new sleep study I've learned that I no longer have sleep apnea. I still have two months to go in the process but I'm nervous about approval if I'm not at a BMI of over 40. I've gained a little weight (which my nutritionist says I shouldn't) so now I'm nervous about that too.

Hoping you get approved!

Hoping the best for you too. You still have two months to get that weight a little lower. My surgeons office put a lot of emphasis on me losing weight as I may be denied but my mother who got the same surgery a few years ago from the same Doctor gained a bunch and still got hers so it could just be a personal preference of the Surgereon. My last appointment is in 5 days so I am so nervous!
