My case is still pending approval. Was hoping I would get an answer today. 1/22 marks the 15 days.

Mine was pretty quick with BCBS, maybe 6 days ? Though I also called my care coordinator at BCBS and that helped speed the process up!!

Oh no that’s awful!!! That doesn’t help you at all! Maybe the surgeons office could help by giving them a call? Fingers crossed you hear soon!

Yeah BCBS customer reps always send her messages to call me( I call everyday, lol) she called Wed but I was at work. She left a message to call her but every time I do says she’s not available and I leave voicemails, but no return call yet.

My coordinator sent my info in too early according to BCBS they literally waited 2 wks before surgery to approve my surgery. They said because it was sent in so early they were handling the claims closer to surgery dates.

      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.
