Stands for Federal Blue Cross Blue Sield-Texas

I have Federal BCBS and I live overseas. I called today and was told that I didn't need prior approval BECAUSE I live in Europe. I asked the rep..."are you sure? I don't want a $20K bill coming to me!" She showed me in the Benefit summary where it states that precertification does not apply when living overseas. I'm thankful she didn't get annoyed because I asked her 3 times to be sure.

I'm calling the surgeon tomorrow to get the ball rolling! Thank you GOD! I'm ready for this new season of my life..my new lifestyle.

I have FED BCBS and was just approved the other day. it only took 2 days from the date doctor submitted. Surgery is Oct 24.

Congratulations!! I'm looking to get banded in December. I got too much going on and that's the best time for me to take leave. I'll be praying for your success.

So...first CSR I spoke with LIED...I do have to go through the pre approval process even though I'm in an overseas location! So now I have to find an English speaking nutritionist (had found one but she wants me to do Herbal Life instead...go figure) ANSI have to find a psychologist.

But a delay is NOT a denial!!! I will have lap band surgery. I will change my life. I will NOT be discouraged but encouraged.

Ok...had to get that out. Now back to the drawing board to have my life-changing surgery!

Keep me in your prayers please. I want to be a success story too.
