    From the time I turned my package in I think it took 2 1/2 weeks til i got my approval in the mail, which was last Saturday. I called Tuesday and scheduled my surgery for October 7th.

    Hello Newbie, welcome, I have found this forum to be very enlightening and informative. My surgery date is October 4 and we are almost in the same weight range.. I attended a seminar in April and started all the required appointments from May - Jul.. BCBS approved me in July, as I had documented proof of prior Weight Loss attempts before I went to the seminar..

    It will be nice to have someone to compare changes of our bodies as we tread in to unforeseen territory..LOL..

    Best wishes on your journey...

    I hope my ticker shows, I've been trying to get it to work. If it doesn't show up could someone PLEASE Help me with it :rolleyes:
