Yes it won't be the same date but we are doing it together.

August 24th...hopefully. I have had three different dates since May.

Good luck...I will be on the 25th.

I will have mine July 25th.... thought it was in August but it got moved up.

I am scheduled for August 3rd...after fighting two months with the insurance and all...

Thanks... congrats to you too. I still have not got my date yet.

Finally got approved...... just waiting for a date. So excited!

Thanks.... I am just waiting for a date. I am curious to see if my husband will have the same problems I had with getting approved.

Yay finally got approved......just waiting for a date.

My doctor does the nutrition classes at his office with a nutritionist. Apparently she was not licensed. I also did classes with my husband with a licensed nutritionist. So we will see if that makes a difference. The insurance said it could not be with the surgeons office and had to be with a licensed nutritionist.

They need three years of weight history. And the nutrition part has to be done by a licensed nutritionist. They denied mine so now I am waiting for the doctor to have a peer to peer review. I wad supposed to have my surgery in may but I am still waiting.

Good luck to you. I know it can me very frustrating.

I was supposed to have surgery May 23rd. BCBS Of AL denied it because of the nutrition part. They said that that the nutrition part that I did with my doctors office wasn't good enough. So I am waiting on a Peer to Peer Review that should be done this week. So I am hoping that they approve my surgery.

Why are all BCBS state plans different? My doctors office has never had any problems with getting approvals with other BCBS but mine. It doesn't make any sense to me. I am hoping they will eventuallt approve it.

No surgery on the 23rd until the insurance can approve it. They needed three years of weight history and the nutrition classes I took were not good enough for them. I am so frustrated. My surgeon is furious with my insurance company

I have bcbs of alabama. I am supposed to habe surgery on the 23rd but it is on hold due to they needed more information.

Thanks guys... it is great to know i have someone to talk and vent to that are going through the same thing.

Well pre op diet was supposed to start tomorrow and surgery was scheduled on the 23rd. Drs office called yesterday and said that i was denied because they needed more info. So i called the drs office to see what i am supposed to do and they mever called me back now i am worrying and cant sleep.

I have blue cross. I am having my surgery at the surgery center. I am hoping the appeal comes through quick.

As far as I know I was all set to go. My surgery is scheduled for the 23rd. I am supposed to start my diet tomorrow. I am not sure what to do. They said They are going to appeal but who knows how long that will take.

Nine days until surgery and I get a phone call that my surgery was denied. So now I am scrambling around trying to get medical records from my Dr. I hope this is a quick fix.

I know they can be nasty. I am used to doing herbal life. I bought lean shakes from GMC so hopefully they will be good for my pre open diet.

I am starting to get nervous.... the time is almost here. I am not sure if I am more excited for the surgery or my vacation. I am a home daycare provider and I haven't had a vacation in two years.

I think if you microwave the protein drinks it breaks down the protein content

Thanks. You should have had the diet by now. I got the lean shakes from GNC. They sre low in carbs and sugars.
