Has anyone else had any problems with BCN?

Between BCN and my family doc this whole process is way more stressful than it should be......LOOSING MY MIND!

What kind of problems, may I ask?



So I did my 6 month through my family doc. Well she had it under supervised diet. Didn’t work it as weight management. So they initially denied it. Then my surgeon did a peer to peer and had her hand write them out on the sheet for the insurance. Which she did. But the first time she didn’t sign them. Then by time they got them back to her and she sent them back there was one missing. Now they finally have them and the insurance is either dragging their feet or just denied it again. I really don’t have a clue. So between them being super picky down to the verbiage and my doc office this is getting super stressful. And I’m supposed have everything lined up for surgery on Wednesday. Feels impossible. I just want answers

Did you call the insurance and ask them directly. What it is exactly they want ? I would then you can compare with nurse what is missing

Take a deep breath and remember we are all jumping through hoops to be healthy. I am going through Louisiana Medicaid and United Healthcare 🙄

@mamaddot that is likely due to the state of LA not reimbursing physicians at a decent rate and delaying reimbursements, and physicians getting tired of the jerking.

Figured I would come on and update everyone. The insurance denied my surgery with my doctors written out 6 month sheets. So I have to redo my 6 month then can try again. My 6 months will be up Aug 8th of this year so I should be able to get it approved then. I will be doing all my visits with my surgeon this time.

IF by chance you want to follow my journey I have been documenting it through youtube. My channel name is Fat 2 Fab.

      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.
