Hello. I have BCBS of michigian & I can tell you now.. they are slow! they kept telling me they have 30 days to decide approval but it took them 45 days!!! :) I called at least 2 times a week just to let them know how woresome i can be:tongue: then i got the bariatric coordinater to call & it still took them another week! I finally just gave up waiting, prayed about it & took it to the alter & then come that monday, i got a phone call. I was approved!:thumbup: I was so happy i did a little dance!! So all i can say is, hang in there and keep calling them being woresome:sneaky: Good luck!!!

Hi! I have BCBS of Michigan Trelleborg Corporation. My info was submitted on June 27, 2008 and I've been calling about twice a week. I spoke with the ins. co. this past week and they told me that they do not require pre-authorization or pre- certification(PRE-APPROVAL). They (the ins. co.) said that my doctor would receive a letter stating the criteria but not an approval letter. She said that would be determined after the ins claim is filed. I'm so :tt2:. I am also very:angry:.

      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.
