I am so excited - overwhelmed actually that when I checked the bariatric surgery policy for BCBSNC they have made a policy change and they now WILL pay for vertical sleeve gastrectomy!!
I never thought this would happen - now I can go ahead and do this AND my insurance will pay for it.
I'm happy for you. I had gastric bypass 6 years ago. I had bcbsnc and back then that is all they would pay for. I am glad they changed it. I wanted the sleeve. But glad I got it all over with.
And you look great! I was SO tempted to go with the gastric bypass, but really, really wanted the sleeve. Just didn't know how I was going to be able to get it.
So excited for you and the journey you are embarking on! Hope you can get your surgery date soon...Hurray for you and all your hardwork in staying on the insurance company! It paid off! You Rock!
