Yeah! I had a hiccup though. I broke down and called bcbs' date=' just to find out that the nurse reviewing my file was insisting on information that was either already sent or just unnecessary (wanted a second comorbidity which was NOT according to the plan brochure!) so I insisted on talking to a nurse. The nurse who answered was totally confused by the original nurses notes and approved it herself, once she saw all requirements were met!! So happy now!!

My surgery was approved as a day surgery (24 hours in hospital) but the surgeon said that's just an insurance hoop. I stayed a couple of nights. Insurance hoop or not, I refused to let somebody cut the majority of my stomach off and send me home 24 hours later.
