So I got approved from United Healthcare at the end of April, now I'm waiting on BCBS TX. The office sent in all my paperwork to BCBS on 5/3/12. Anyone have experience with BCBS TX and how long it usually takes? I'll get to schedule my surgery as soon as we get an answer! I'm waiting {notso} patiently. Haha

WOW! I don't anything about BCBSTX but I'm impressed with your speed for UHC. My consult with Dr. Kim was 4/20 and the office is still waiting for my records to come in from my primary care physicians. Did you bring your records with you? I hope BCBSTX doesn't take any longer for you than UHC did.

I didn't bring them with me, I signed the papers for them to receive them at my first visit on the 13th. I was so surprised when I got it in the mail the other day. I know even if BCBS doesn't approve me, I'll still be covered by UHC and have the surgery. But it would be nice to have both working for me. Good luck with yours!!! Hopefully it goes through soon!

BCBS NC is really quick...approved in 2 days. I don't know much about insurance so I'm not sure if that helps at all. Hope your approval happens quickly!!!

My daughter has BCBS of NC and is worried about approval. What hoops did you have to jump through?

It wasn't a pain like I thought it would be. I did all the required work-up stuff (blood work, physical, ect..) and they approved it in 2 days with no questions asked.

I heard that day. They have an online submission process that is quick. If I had needed to fight them on something like if I was missing a year with weight record and needed to submit a picture it would have taken two weeks.

Hi, I had my labs and turned in and signed all my paperwork on 3/23and 2 weeks later I called the office, they said I never signed any paperwork..4/17 I recalled office n they still i had not turned in my paperwork, I refaxed it to them and called the lab to get them to fax my results to drs office. They said they faxed it twice... , 5/7 I recalled the office and they said they turned in the paper work the previous Friday...well I took it a step further n called BCBS. They said paperwork was not turned in till 5/7monday.. Before the week was up I was approved... My suggestion to allll. Keep copies and records of times n dates and who ur speak to..stay on top of them cause they will Dottle...call the office n stay on top go things..

I have BCBS as my primary and secondary ins When I had gotten approved by my primary I had no idea my 2nd would cover anything. Then I decided to submit ot and they did! So both covered me and the wait on the BCBS TX was only about 2-3 weeks.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
