    This was a fair question. The only stupid question is the one that was never asked.
    Wear a simple pair of panties and leave the crotchless, leather one at home.

    When I go to the Blue Cross Blue Shield's website and click on my plan then down to authorization and referrals. That's where I find it.

    I have the same insurance, but in NJ. My paperwork was submitted on Wednesday and I got a call back from doctor early Monday morning. Approval could have come in anytime Friday or after, since they were not in the office. Hope you get yours back just as fast!

    lasmith0802 reacted to AvaFern in How do I tell my surgeon he screwed up?   
    How about you confirm he screwed up before accusing him of doing so? Did you have a bariatric swallow test? If not, go get one done- you can clearly see the size of your stomach and compare it to others to determine if your surgeon did indeed do something out of the ordinary. Next, request your patient files- they're yours, they have to give them to you. See what size bougie he used and then compare this to the norm for a patient that is comparable to you.
    Much as I am completely fine with calling out a surgeon for being incompetent, I like to make sure that I have documentation that he actually did something wrong before I make myself look stupid for nothing.
