I just got a letter from the Bariatric Surgery Department at Methodist Hospital in Hopkins, MN. The letter stated that it should take approx 2-4 weeks to get the approval from Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance, and after they approve me for the Vertical Sleeve surgery, then I'll talk with my surgeon to set up a date for my Vertical Sleeve surgery. Yes, I am very nervous, as this will be a new lifestyle that I will need to adapt and adjust to.
