Approved!

I messaged BCBS asking if they received the letter from my surgeons office and in 24hours they replied that they did receive it and I have been approved for VSG!

I sent an email to the surgeons office coordinator and I'm waiting to hear back about a date.

This whole process is wait, wait, wait...

Congrats!! How exciting!

Who did you email at BCBS/ where did you find an email address? I thought about calling them tomorrow, but I may just email them tonight.

Congratulations on being approved! That is AWESOME! :)

MissKatie I just went through the website (www.bcbsil.com) and went through the "contact us" link.

Congrats!!! That's awesome!! My last NUT appt is in 2-1/2 weeks and I'm getting more and more anxious daily. This waiting is the worse part! I heard that once Obama's health plan goes into affect, insurance companies won't be approving surgeries.

When is his plan supposed to go into effect? Hope it's not before November. I haven't finished my 6 mon NUT appt yet.
