Waiting on approval from insurance

Hello all~

My name is Ruthie and I live in NC. I have gone through all the hoops that the insurance company wanted me to do. It is really helpful in reading all of the comments posted here. I have been overweight all of my life and I am ready for a new change. Hopefully soon I will here about my approval from BCBS.

Thanks,

Ruthie

Hi Ruthie,

I also have BCBS and I am just starting the process. Wondering if they required a six month waiting period? I have so co-mobities such as Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure so wonder if I will have to wait that time if required. Any idea since you just went through all the hoops.

Thanks,

Marti

I too am waiting, hope all goes well for us both
