Recommended Posts

As stated, I just joined the community, and I looked through some of the pages and I havent found an answer to my question...

Has anyone dealt with Anthem BCBS Lumenos of Wisconsin with this procedure? Last time I talked to them they werent very friendly and told me that everything I needed to know was listed on thier site, which I guess could be there but of course I didnt find it.

Any help would be appreciated :scared2:

First of all, welcome!

I would probably post this under the Insurance / financing board...and make the title "Anthem BCBS Lumenos of Wisconsin." I think there is a better chance of someone reading it who has dealt with the insurance company there.

As far as insurance company's go, you just have to try to speak to a different person. Ask them if it's covered under your policy, that you know each policy is different, and if they direct you to the website, tell them you are having trouble finding an answer to your question there. I hope that helps!!!

I agree with ccweeks above...post this in the isurance & financing forum and you might get more direct help. my brother is using BCBS federal emplyees program and they do in fact cover lapand and followup. i also know that there are many users on this site that have used BCBS with great success, but there are just so many different types of BCBS it is difficult to sift through any differences between them.

keep looking and certainly call them directly and ask. good luck!!

      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.
