awesome! where will you be having it? I'm going to be having mine in Nashville.

Hi, I was wondering if you had heard from bcbs of illinois. they surely would send you a letter. have you thought about calling your insurance and asking them if they received all your information, they possibly may say yes your approved. Never know. I go for my psych eval tomorrow and then my paper work should be submitted to BCBS of Illinois on the 6th hopefully. Hopefully it doesn't take a long time. kudos

So I went to the Metobolic Center last week and got disappointing news. I started my 6 month diet for the insurance in March and my last weigh in was suppose to be Oct. 3rd. The insurance analysis told me they just that day had been informed that BCBS of Illinois had changed their diet from 6 months to 8 months, so that will put me in December. Not even sure if I will get to have it now before the end of the year. Wondering if when Dec. gets here if they will move it to a year. So disappointing.

I'm PRAYING to be a Octoberbandster! we shall see. Good luck to all of you. My last weight in is Oct 3rd, I should turn all my papers in to the insurance on Oct 5th or 6th. so we shall see! Anyways, thinking of all of you and eager to see your updates!

I just got on here to say, that I called BCBS of Illinois this morning and they said there has been NO changes. It's STILL 6 months. She read it too me and told me anyone can find it on bcbsil website. I was VERY happy to hear this. So then I called the metobolic center and got that straightened out w/ their off. They had a HUGE mix up with things. Geez. lol So sorry about the confussion everyone! It's still 6.

you have a surgery date, good deal. i'm really confussed as to why i'm seeing so many people who have started their weight loss diet for bcbs of il after i did and are getting approved. I was told my last visit that i have to wait for 8 months now. i just don't understand all this ;( good luck to you

How long did you have to be on the diet and how much did you lose? I'm really worried here. I've stayed the exact same for 2 months and have only lost 3 lbs. I'm worried I won't be approved because I haven't lost more weight. I'm following dietician and working on a stationary as well as a bike. Should I be concerned because i haven't dropped more weight than this? Freaking out there.
