Hi Sue, how are you? Congrats on your success. I noticed that you are an RN, so am I. I am currently waiting for my response from bcbs. I am so nervous. I am wondering what the process is for bcbs to make their decisions. Do they go by certain criteria or what? I am just wondering what my chances are for getting approved. My BMI is 40, and I had back surgery last year. I still suffer from excrutiating back pain, knee pain, and joint pain. I have family history of diabetes, heart disease, CA. I am having symptoms of pre- diabetes. I have chronic plantar facsitis. I am only 29. I am so ready to change my life, and get the weight off. Any advice?
Hi Sue. I am glad to hear that your thigh revision went well. Any updates/pics? Having a thigh lift is #1 on my list. I have to be extra careful because my skin scars really bad. But I need to decide if I'd rather have "normal" looking thighs with a dark scar or a puddle of flesh pooling in my seat . . . darn, I know that was TMI. It even disgusted me when I read it aloud. But you know what I mean. Tasha
Sue...I just wanted to say thank you for all your bcbs advice a while back. I was sooooo stressed out. My surgeon's office is putting through an appeal and they should take care of it according to the lady at bcbs. It was a bcbs mistake (like you said) that was not caught by the office. The hospital bill and anestesiologist bill are still processing, but I know they may have to be appealed too. But, that will be the doctors offices thing, they were messed up and I need to not stress out. I have to many work things going on right now to worry. Thank you so much for your support. You are a wonderful asset to this community.
