You can do it...

Good Luck... Each insurance company and case is different... The person that submits insurance for my doctor told me it would take at least two weeks and possibly even a month. She was shocked when BCBS of IL approved mine in 2 days. I think it's rare that it happens this quick but in my case it did. Luckily they moved my surgery date up by 3 weeks.

Hey Haley, My surgery was not that bad. I had very little pain after leaving the hospital. Just slept a lot. Walked often and Drank plenty of Water. Hope things go well for you... Try to relax..

Welcome and good luck

HI Vickie, Welcome!!!! Good luck on your upcoming visit.. Just relax and have your questions ready. Your doctor and his staff will answer the questions.

Mandy, Contact BCBS of IL directly.. I just had lap band surgery on 7/3 and it was covered by Blue Cross Blue Shield of IL My BMI was 41 and i had no comorbids. It might be the policy that your employer has but it's worth double checking. I contacted them directly serveral times and they were always very helpful. Good Luck...

I'm not in Dothan but I am in Alabama. Just south of Birmingham. I was banded on 7/3.
