So BCBS of Il approved me after only 24 hours! Soooo, why don't I have a date you ask?..well it's because I only know because I called the company today, they said they sent out an approval letter to me and my surgeons office. I left a message with them so I'm hoping for a date tomorrow..aaah the waiting game.

Congrats!!!! I have bcbs go AL and my doctors office warned me it could take a few months but I had it approved with in a week. I'm 3 months post op now and extremely happy

That's awesome, how's your progress?

66 lbs 4 pants sizes!

Unbelievable results!! Congratulations and I wish you much, much more success :-)

Congrats!! I too had good luck with BCBS IL approving quickly. Where are yoy having your sleeve done?

I have BCBS NY I was wondering what were your start weight and height

I'm having my sleeve done in Maryland, with Dr. Averbach. Also, my start weight is 337 and my height is 6'1

I also have BCBS IL and was approved in 24 hours !! Now I'm just waiting for the scheduling Coordinator to call me for my date of surgery

You know I actually called her, because BCBS told me they'd sent out a letter to me and the office and of course neither of us had received it (that was a week after they had already approved me!) so I called and told them that the insurance company said they'd approved me and my coordinator confirmed that same day, called me back with a date the next day and my last appointments. I wanted so badly to get in this March and my office is so great they were actually able to make it happen!
