  1. How long did it take for insurance to approve you?

    bigdandme replied to dm5201's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    My husband and daughter were approved through my insurance within 4 months of starting the process. My daughter surgery was in December 2009 and my husband was January 2010. We have Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois.

  2. How many of you had plastic surgery covered by insurance?

    bigdandme replied to blackcherry2002's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
    Has anyone tried Blue Cross and Blue Shield of ILL to cover plastic surgery? My daughter has done an amazing job of losing weight after her lap band. She has been overweight her entire life, but insurance covered her lap band when she turned 18. Soon to be college freshman, she wants a whole new beginning and I totally support her as long as insurance covers the surgery
