congrats!

Yep BCBS FEDS is quick. I got my approval in a day! And they had to translate all my information. Congratulations.

I have BCBS, still waiting to hear from the surgery center. I sent my paperwork in almost two weeks ago. Hopefully I will hear from them soon, anticipation is killing me. I am on the borderline with my bmi so I am nervous that will delay approval. We will see.

Congrats! I have BCBS Federal and am so worried.

Well now I know that there was nothing to worry about because I questioned everything and it didn't take long at all. I am so happy

Y'all are giving me hope :-) I should have my paper work to be submitted in about a week. I'm hoping for a May surgery date because of school.

Do you have co morbidities?

Do you have co morbidities?

My PCP said I could use the Fatty Liver and the fact that I have high glucose sugar from my blood work...but idk, I don't have high BP, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, diabetes or anything like that.

You can definately use the high glucose. I didnt have all of my two years an I got approved. I have high blood pressure and sleep apnea though. And even though didnt have the weight for two years, I still got approved. My surgeon said BCBS federal is the easiest.

I was told BCBS fed is the easiest too, so i'm very thankful to have it! But I am praying that I get approved, wont be until the end of my 3 month supervised diet though, last appointment is in May!

But congrats again!! so excited for you! :)
