Hello Everyone,

I'm finally finished with everything that was asked of me. I'm just waiting patiently for approval. Does anyone know how long it will be for Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield's approval?

Congratulations to all for your success with the lap band.

We have Blue Cross/Blue Shield WNY thru the county of Erie. It was less than a week for me. I did make sure that all their criteria were met prior to the Dr. sending in the authorization request. My PMD is wonderful and wrote a great letter also. Best of luck

Thank you so much. I hope I get approved soon.
