Hey Ang, no problem, I'm glad to see you have started the process!! They will schedule your surgery once you have had your psych eval, nutrition consult, finish you nutrition classes...have you done a sleep study? I had BCBS Comm. Blue, but I was 5'4" and 303 which meant I did not need any kind preauthorization from them. In fact, I just got my statement and I don't owe BCBS a dime!!! It depends on your BMI and any comorbidies you may have. Basically when Dr. Lane and Richardson feel they have all they need is when they will schedule you. It is usually a month out so they can get you started on the shakes you will be drinking for 2 weeks prior to surgery. It's hard at first, but when you se the lbs shedding off...you don't mind too much!! =) Any other questions feel free to ask!!!!
