Recommended Posts

My paperwork was finally submitted to Bc/BS il today. Though my hopes of approval seem small, it was an exciting moment considering all the appts and tests I have been through in the past 8 months. I did get a tenative band date of 8/25/08!! Keep your fingers crossed. Tamara

I also have bcbs/il hmo. I started process last month. called bcbs cs and was told lapbanding was covered 100% w/referral from PCP. NOT!!!

I was told by my med grp that I have to do a 6m diet. Used to be 12m w/10% loss. So my med group tells me that insurance requires it and I called bcbs and they insist that it is NOT THEM but the med group. IM SO CONFUSED!! would love to hear others war stories similar to this GOOD LUCK TO ALL

Hi all,

I actually left my work in December, and will return in August (teacher burnout, but need the money, and miss the kids). While working, I had bc/bs il hmo, and encountered the exact same run around. :scared2:

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
