Thank Ya very kondly DSLdiversity Lol DSLdiversity

Thank you FMoore2004, I received the call from BCBS today! I'm now waiting for my surgeon to schedule me! Thank you so very much for your encouragement and kind words. I was very concerned and anxious DSLdiversity

Thanks for the encouragement. I received a call today from BCBS, I'm approved!!!!! Waiting to be scheduled with my surgeon. Pray it's sooner than later. I'm ready for a change! DSLdiversity

After my 4 required appointments with the NUT, my paperwork was submitted on May 25th. Today I got a letter from BCBS stating I will hear something within the next 15 days. :-(. I've been with BCBS since 1993... Same Federal plan DSLdiversity

Good for you two! DSLdiversity

I like you am a BCBS client. I only had to do four moths with NUT. My paperwork is at BCBS so it's the waiting game. Let's both be optimistic and get ready for change DSLdiversity

Congratulations!!! DSLdiversity

I'm so happy for you. I'm still waiting but hopeful DSLdiversity

Reading all these posts help. I'm lap waiting a second time. Untried for approval in 2013 and was denied. I then did Herbalife, became a vegan, and lost over 70 lbs working out religiously. However due to injuries from the military and other things (gunshot) to the chest, I'm up to 300lbs. My physician submitted my paperwork to the insurance company on May 22,2016 so I'm expectantly waiting for a date! Thanks again for inspiring hope DSLdiversity

Wow amazing DSLdiversity

Awesome-sauce! Your post gives me hope, I need your prayers please. I'm waiting on the insurance company. They received my paperwork on 5/23/16. DSLdiversity

You are most welcome! DSLdiversity

I need your prayers. I have blue cross and Medicare. The doctors office told me that MediCare is fine because I met the requirements and completed the four month dietary program, but I'm waiting for an approval from blue cross. They received my paperwork on 5/23/16. Thanks friends#GodIsInControl DSLdiversity

I will pray for you and your family. Stay encouraged and know you can't make anyone do anything but you can make them not do it. Smile, take care of your kids, seek God and leave the results up to Him DSLdiversity

I need prayer as well. I have blue cross and Medicare. The office told me that MediCare is fine because I met the requirements and four month dietary program, but I'm waiting for an approval from blue cross. They received my paperwork on 5/23/16. #GodIsInControl DSLdiversity

I feel your pain. I'm waiting as well and lost a week because three months ago my psych evaluation was never added to my file PhDiversity

I have the same question..? PhDiversity

Great to hear, I have a very similar story. I had my band in 2008 and have been suffering since and now I'm 50lbs heavier than when I initially got the band. Man we have the same story! lol. I'm waiting for insurance approval for my procedure, fingers crossed... PhDiversity

Thanks for the prayers! And I'm sending some right back your way! PhDiversity

enjoy, as of now I haven't been asked to do a sleep study. Keep us updated PhDiversity

It's been four months since I made the decision to have my VGS. I've been to the psychological evaluation, been through the standardized four monthly visits with the dietician and physician, now I'm waiting and praying for insurance approval. I'm optimistic about posting results soon. Thank you all for sharing your stories. Currently I'm 300lbs at 5'10 and my goal weight is 200lbs. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
