I am on cloud 9 right now...I just found out the BCBS of Florida approved me for the surgery with no 6 month waiting/dr. supervised diet requirement! Holy crap! I was expecting to have to pay out of pocket...They just saved me $13,500!!!

I just had to share! :thumbup:

Good for you!! BCBS of Florida must have changed their policy. 5 yrs ago when I had BCBS Florida, we received a notice that effective Jan 1 the following year, they were no longer going to cover anything weight loss related... Glad to see that they have seen the light!!

Best of luck to you! How was the pre-op diet for you? I am totally mentally psyching myself up for it and I still have 1 month to go before I start. BCBS of Florida approved me in 2 days. Shocked the hell out of me! Please keep us updated on your progress!

The pre-diet for me was good. I was very excited to get going and determined not to let it bother me. My only concern now, is I am getting a cold and I'm hoping they won't delay the surgery. I'll find out tomorrow morning. I'll keep you posted on the results.
