Tomorrow will be 3 weeks that my insurance company has been reviewing my file for the surgery and still no word. I am getting more and more nervous that I am going to be declined because it is taking so long. How long did it take you to hear back from insurance company once everything was submitted???

It took about 2 weeks. Called them each week and had my doctor call after they said they were waiting on a final consult with him. Call and see where they are in the process

Ok thank you......was hoping to have my Lapband in september but I guess not!

Hopefully no news is good news! Hang in there

I turned my paperwork in on Sept 18 n got my approval on Sept 20 n I have BCBS Ala PPO.. I hope u heard something soon.. Good luck..

Have you heard anything yet?

I was denied because my BMI wasn't over 40. I had a sleep study done and found out that I have a mild form of sleep apnea so I filed an appeal and now just have to sit and wait again
