This thread has helped me a lot! My coordinator said she was submitting Friday. I have Anthem Blue Cross. I've been checking their site to see if I see the claim. After reading this I will be calling pre-certification tomorrow. Thanks for the info ;)

I actually went ahead and call pre-authorization today...they said my paperwork had just been received today and I didn't even have a claim number. I had been going back and forth with my surgeons office...so I wanted to be sure it had been sent. I was told it would be done Wednesday, I asked her to let me know when it was submitted. Hadnt heard from her by friday, called back then and she said was would fax it that day. The rep for Anthem was really nice and told me to call back either tmw or thr next day to get my claim number...she can bet I will!

That's great ARenee99, I actually just called them back and they have received my paperwork and it has been forwarded to the pre-certification department so I feel a little better. So now I am just waiting on an answer. Thank God for small favors!

BariatrIc surgery is big business. The coordinator of mine is on no hurry to return my calls or talk to me about next steps.

Luckily mine is pretty good she came in on her off day to re-fax it today because I was so upset and I am grateful for that!

That is great!! I had/have the same problem with my Patient Advocate! She told me that she submitted my paperwork on February 6 but after many calls to the insurance company and emails to my PA and Surgeon, my paperwork was submitted on February 21st! My surgeon emailed me last week an said that I would hear from his office before the week ended. But I did not hear from anyone! Surprisingly I got an email last night from my surgeon to follow up to see if I had heard from anyone in his office, and I told him NO! He was not happy!

So hopefully I will hear something soon!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
