Hi. I have health insurance with my job . The highest plan ppo premium and I would like to get the sleeve. I meet all the requirements but I’m scared that my plan dies not cover it and my plan goes in effect Nov.1 and I am scared they will deny me due to I just got covered. Help anyone have bcbstx health insurance? Does anyone know if I can still try to apply for the surgery even thou it’s my first month being covered?

Are you starting a new job or just changing insurance companies at your place of employment... that is what makes the difference. IF it is a new job you may want to ask about coverage but it is a new insurance company they should cover anything your other company covered.

Not sure about the being new thing, but I also have bcbstx and my sleeve surgery was covered 80/20 after my deductible was met.

Hopefully things will work out for you!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
