Is there a specific clothing store that you were gunning for once you reached your target/goal weight?

I was sleeved on March 7th today is my first day back to work.

Yes they required 6 months but it didn't have to be medically supervised I had 4 months weight watchers and 2 months from NUT at surgeons office.

Call customer service to check on status that speeds things up.

Wow what a detailed summary, I have BCBS NJ they approved me in 24 hours I did pretty much everything you had listed in your summary except my insurance did not require 2 year history of weight loss but did require 6 months of supervised weight loss I was doing WW so that counted and did another 3 months with nutritionist. My surgery date is March 7th what is yours?

Still nothing for me emailed the coordinator Monday, and she has yet to reply, which makes me that more frustrated! Call your insurance company find out the status from them. Sometimes the call to insurance company pushes them to review your documents and decide.

Submomma I have BCBSNJ and the doctor's office sent the information in on 02/22 and was approved 24 hours later. Call your insurance company and tell them you're checking to see if your doctor submitted the paperwork for approval. They will tell you if it's there and pending when that happens not much time goes by and you find out you were approved (God willing).

Well for anyone who read my post I would like to report I got a call last night from my patient navigator and she said BCBS approved me. I was shocked at knowing it only took literally 24 hours.

I'm sure this question has been asked many times but I'm asking again because my surgery is scheduled and I'm getting nervous. How long from when insurance company gets paperwork does it take for approval or denial? 48 hours, a week, a month??? Somebody give me good news.
