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.

Hi. I went from Prn to full time and now I am Entitled to benefits HR says is covered but insurance company says it’s not covered but then again they can’t look at the policy and so I have my policy my ID number which I don’t have now because he doesn’t take affect until November

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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
