ok so i work at a trauma hospital and we have bcbs. the good thing about it is, being an employee at this hospital if we are admitted, or having surgery etc. everything is covered. luckily we do have a bariatric doctor and the insurance will be covering the sleeve surgery since its thru the hospital's insurance.

my last weigh in visit is on december 21st. after that how long do u guys think it will take to approve me for surgery?? i hope it doesnt take long since its the holidays. idk if im gona have the surgery after new years or right after xmas.

It took me 4 days for my approval. I have fep/bcbs

4 days after your last weigh in??

Once I completed all the insurance requirements. My coordinator submitted the request for approval and it took four days.

I have BCBS Alabama as well and was approved within a week after they got all the info.
