Well so much for that!! :(

Oct 07, 2011

So they called yesterday morning and scheduled my surgery for Monday the 17th of October..preop..Monday the 10th.  They called today and said that Bluecross Blue shield changed their criteria for approving weight loss surgery on the 14th of September..noone was notified.  You either have to have a bmi of 50 or 6 months of dr supervised failed weight loss...and they took me off the schedule!!! :(  After many tears..I finally thought ok fine..then I will go to the dr for 6 months.  One problem though...they are doing layoffs at my work in the next 2 months and even though I have been there for 19 years..I am not guaranted a job..which means I wouldn't have that insurance.  I had my husband call his insurance company to see if I did lose my job...if his insurance would cover it...of course they have an exclusion to weight loss surgery and do not cover it!  So....bottom line is....at the very best I will have to see a dr for 6 months and then have the surgery under my insurance ...very worse case....I will be laid off and not be able to have the surgery.  This is devasating to find out one week prior to surgery!!
