Fills, covered with BCBS in Orlando??



Recommended Posts

Ok here's the situation. I will probably be banded some time in late april. By june I will have moved to Orlando. I currently have BCBS of michigana nd they are covering my Lap band procedure.

I have two questions:

1. Does anyone know a good Fill doctor or baratrics center in or near Orlando.

2. Does insurances like BCBS that cover the surgery also cover fill visits?

I would like to know the answer to this too. I have BCBS of Florida and I am currently paying out of pocket for my fills.

I plan on having my LBS in Ocala, which is about a 2 hr drive from from where I live in Melbourne. The Dr I am going to be using is Dr Jawad. He also has an office in Orlando. Just do a google search for Dr Jawad. You should get the info you were looking for. But I am not sure about the BCBS covering the fills. Hope this helps!

I live in North Port, FL and have BCBS of MI too. They've paid for everything so far - band, fills, and three ultrasounds. You should have no problems.

      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.
