Waiting!!!

Hi, I am waiting for approval from my insurance company, my paperwork was submitted on March 10 to BCBS. I just need to know if everyone called their insurance companies, I'm kind of afraid of being a pain in the butt, I'm scared they will boot me to the end of the line every time I call but this is the hardest part of the whole 6 month process.

My papers were sent on the 21 of March to BCBS we can wait together. I haven't called insurance yet but I keep going onto website to see if it is in system. I will call on Monday....kind of afraid to get rejected , you are correct this is the hardest part.

I hope you get approved soon, I got frustrated because I read other posts that people had been approved in hours, but it'll be worth the wait I'm sure! Good luck to you, I'm sure you'll be approved!

:blink: Do you have BCBS of Florida. I have just found a surgeon, there are not many, only 3 in Orlando area. I have not made the appointment yet, will do it tomorrow. Want this bad. I hope it is slow and healthy that way I do not get loose skin.
