That's good!!!!! I had a similar problem with BCBS. They approved my surgery, I did all my pre-op requirements and get came back and denied. I had to change insurance companies to get my surgery approved Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm up for Apr 7th and have only told a few people. My changes have been pre-op. Smoking was the biggest. I had to be quit for 6?weeks prior. I was a lifer so that was a milestone. Also, I love Diet Pepsi so to have to give that up is also a milestone. I just keep telling myself the health benefits are well worth the sacrifice Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
