Hey guys! I'm so excited. Just got a call from my insurance coordinator and my gastric bypass has been approved! Just wanted to give you guys a timeline if anyone's curious. (BCBS Michigan)
February 14th: Weight loss surgery orientation
February 28th: began classes that are required by insurance. (8 weeks)
March 6th: first appointment with surgeon.
March 16th: Psychologist appointment. (3 of them, a week apart each time)
April 19th: Last class.
April 20th: Nutrition evaluation (required)
May 3rd: Everything was submitted to insurance for approval.
May 8th: Received the approval.
I have BCBS of Michigan, overall the process was about 3 months total. I'm so excited for the future.

I'm sorry I'm just seeing this! Don't be afraid to keep calling! I had to do the same thing!

I GOT THE APPROVAL!

I GOT THE APPROVAL!

Thanks for the info! Congrats on the surgery & best of luck to you [emoji173]

I have completed all of the requirements and everything has been sent to insurance. Just waiting on the approval and then I'll see my surgeon for a surgery date. The insurance coordinator told me i would have an answer in 10-14 days.

It really is a mind challenge. Any addiction is hard to overcome. Maybe try finding support groups in your area for that or bariatric groups. I have the same problem and have been thinking maybe a therapist to help me before I have surgery.

Hey guys! First time posting here but I'm just kind of curious, I have BCBS Michigan, I was wondering if anyone else has the same insurance and how long it took for your approval? Even if you don't have the same insurance I'd still love to hear! I just got done with all insurance requirements, everything has been sent and now it's up to them! The nerves have officially set it.
