Hi,
My name is Maria and I have a date of Feb. 13. After a two year fight with BCBS of IL, switched to UHC and was approved after only 5 days.

What I can say is make sure you have a five year history of obisity, you must have done a 6 month diet and not have missed for any reason. Have a 40bmi or 35bmi but must have two of the comorbids that they require.
I missed one month in my first 6 month diet (because I was admitted to the hospital and missed my appointment. :eek:
Also I had history back to being 13 years olf of being overweight. But was a borderline diabetic, I turned diabetic on 9/15/07 and had then resubmitted.

I sent in my paperwork on 1/3/08 and was approved 1/10/08 with United Heath Care.
I have fought with Blue Cross Blue Shield of IL for the last two years.
They are so hard to deal with. When I finaly was approved by them on 12/15/07 and my insurance was changing on 1/1/08. Neadless to say I could not get sceduled that quick so I had to resubmit.
Well I am approved now.
55 focused and fantastic!!!

Hi Miss Vicki,
I am having my surgery on Feb. 13 at 9:45am. I am a mother & grandmother. My grandaughter lives with us and needs a grandma as she said, "That will be like the other moms and can go jogging and run around at the park with her". That's my motivation. I am 50 years old and let this weight take over my life, I wan't my life back.
Just because we are older does not stop us from wanting the best life we can have.
