Ok, I have BCBS Federal so it's really a good insurance to have. It requires 3 months diet with NUT BMI with 35-40 with comorbidities or BMI over 40. My BMI is over 40 and I have a month and a half to go on the NUT thing. My problem is they also have to submit a two year history from my regular doctor showing a BMI OVER 40 I'm one of those people who bounce all over the place and lose and gain weight constantly. Last December I was 180 now I'm 250. I don't know if I was over 40 during the last two years when I went to doctor. I am waiting on my records from my PCP. Anyone else experience this? Trouble with the two year history? How strict is the insurance company?

Sounds like a big mess..and I hope they can get things rolling forr you. Yesterday when I got home I had my approval letter in the mailbox. 8 days after my original submit. Too bad I had to reschedule til January. Keep strong and keep pushing. The insurance company would like nothing more than to blow you off so they don't have to pay! Good luck and keep us posted!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Ok I couldn't stand it anymore so I called my insurance. I am approved!!!! Now just have to wait for Dr to receive the letter and call me.

Congrats to both of you!!!! I'm happy to hear you are both approved!!! Still waiting and hoping!

Jessica, when I found out I was approved I called my coordinator who then called and got the verbal approval as well. You don't have to wait on the paper! That could be a week or so. Anyway...CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Yeah I talked to the insurance coordinator and she said BCBS called her as well and let her know I was approved. She told me I should hear from Doctor's office soon but they didn't call me today. I'm going to call them tomorrow. My mom had a procedure done so I was at hospital most of the day today so I didn't have much time to focus on it.

Congrats on your approval!
