At a time please help with any suggestions thanks 245hot,,,,,

Hi and welcome ! I have BCBS too, and didnt have a waiting period either. I was approved very quickly after my paperwork was sent in and i jumped through all the insurance hoops .Im very grateful they paid 100 %. My paperwork was sent in end of last Sept and i think i was approved about 3-4 weeks later. I was banded last December, and its been a great journey so far . Down 45 lbs, going for my 7th fill on Monday, still have about 35-50 lbs to go. Hope all goes well for you ! Good luck !

HI 245hot

This is a great site for information.

I joined a few months before I was banded... just over 6 years ago.

I have learned so much and have met so many great people here.

If you have any questions please feel free to email me.
