Today I submitted all of my documents were submitted to my insurance. The funny moment of it all was the pre cert coordinator must have showed my letter documenting my weight loss attempts in the past 12 months...all i heard was "OMG! Why do these people write books!" I looked at her dead in her face as she said it and then she walked away as if she had been caught robbing a bank. It was kind of hilarious, but unbeknownst to the mortified nurse I would have been negligent had I not given them a sneak peak in the 20+ years of weight loss attempts. 12 months to me just barely hit the surface. Needless to say my paperwork has been submitted to Horizon BCBS. Right now I have a tentative surgery date of November 9th.

Send prayers and positivity out on my behalf for an approval.

Hi evonnrae!

I am sending you as much positive energy and as many prayers on your behalf as I can muster!

We are in the same place -- I submitted my paperwork today, and the insurance coordinator said she would get the letter in tomorrow.

Isn't it exciting and nerve wracking at the same time?!! I am fighting the urge to call Anthem BCBS and tell them to watch the fax machine, pull up my policy and get an approval sent without delay! LOL

Good luck and congratulations!

Best of luck for a speedy approval!! I'm in the same boat, I submitted all my paperwork and am just waiting for the insurance.

Fingers crossed.
