Thanks mag! Where r u in Texas? I'm in Corpus Christi

Thanks for the responses! Mag, how did u find your approval online?

After having to wait out a pre existing clause on my insurance.. a year actually.. I have finally completed everything and it was all submitted last Thursday... Anyone out there have BCBSTX and about how long it takes to hear back after submission?

Have u heard anything?

Haven't loss a strand...actually growing more than usual because of the Biotin. I'm going on 5months out.

That's awesome! How long did u begin taking biotin before your surgery?

I was reading a post from another person whose insurance didn't cover wls and she dropped her policy at work and got an individual policy thru Blue Cross Blue Shield and as there is no longer a pre existing clause with them, she was approved within a month. Just an FYI.

Living.. I'm so happy for you! God is indeed good!

Thanks! And Alex... Thanks for happy anniversary message I received from you!

I too have BCBS of Texas and my paperwork is being submitted this week. I see a lot if different time spans for peeps to hear back so who knows. Good luck and hoping u hear something soon!

There use to be a forum thread called Insurance.. What happened to it?

Well done!

Oofa..

How much was your TT and boob job?

Shay.. Why is the hospital submitting your paper work and supposedly working with your insurance company? Why isn't your bariatric doctors doing this? Confused

Congrats! You are on your way! I am headed out this morning for my Psych eval and then my doc will submit all my stuff for approval for surgery from insurance. It's been a ride to get to this point so I'm very excited for next chapter as well! I'll follow your journey, good luck!

I am in the last phases of completing all my requirements before my doc submits for insurance approval. I too suffer from acid reflux and take medication for it and my doctor told me that once I have the surgery that the acid reflux will go away. I have taken a lot of time and consideration on my decision to do this and for me, it's the right choice. Just keep in mind that this is something that requires a commitment to a complete lifestyle change when it comes to your eating habits and food. This like most worthy things in life only works if you do. One thing that u have in your corner is that you have discovered this forum. There are so many here that can help you as you take this journey. Good luck and I'll be posting things as I go through my own journey!

I'm glad you are feeling better!

Thi.. Had you in my thoughts last night. So happy to hear that your surgery went well. Let the losing begin!

Thanks! I will.

You look great! Congrats!

I'm so excited for you! Can't wait to hear how it went! Sending prayers your way!

You look amazing! Congratulations!
