Two weeks and waiting...
Its been 2 weeks tomorrow and I haven't heard anything from BCBS Fed about approving my sleeve. I did hear that while they are approving it in some states, Oregon BCBS is not yet. That means I will most likely be denied. That is what the Dr. office told me. I am approved for the band or bypass. I have been thinking of considering the bypass instead of the sleeve. I just really prefer the sleeve. My Surgeon thinks that they will start approving it soon and would like me to appeal and hold out for the sleeve. I am not patient but I feel like she is right. She said she would do a peer to peer interview. Any input is much appreciated. I have learned so much from this forum.
Thanks Ladies, I have been working on all this since last october(2010). I have done the tests, classes, worked with a nutritionist and a psychologist. I have had the evalutations. I have lost the required weight for my surgery.... I am doing water aerobics 3x a week. I have brought my protien and Vit. D levels up. I guess I can up the exercise and keep on keeping on, but I am ready for this! So waiting is tough! It could be several months! I can use all the support I can get !
