My surgeon's office told me that my insurance doesn't require pre-approval. I'm assuming this means that they just make sure my i-s are dotted, and my t-s are crossed. The surgeon said they'll call me with a date. I verified with the gals at the front desk because it seemed too easy.They have everything they need. It's just a matter of giving me a date! I am going crazy waiting. I saw them last on Wed morning. It's Monday!!! Why are they torturing me so?! Hahahaha!! I just need to vent to people who understand my pain.

U don't realize how lucky u r

Do anyone have Aetna, Im still pending because I have a out of network doctor........... just wonder how long the approver process takes?

I know I'm lucky, but at the same time I kinda wish we had to get pre-approval. What happens if they turn in all my bills after surgery, and they refuse to pay? Then I'm stuck with a massive bill. That is what I am afraid of!!

Congrats! I am in the waiting boat too. I had my appt with the surgeon Thursday. The nurse told me she will be submitting to insurance Monday. I am so excited to have a date. Hopefully soon :-)

I'm also with BCBS of Michigan.

So am I and they are stringing me along. (Tears)

Now I'm seriously considering Mexico.

Aww, you can't throw away all that work! Did you get the letter from your doctor submitted? What about being the squeaky wheel? Call and bug them every few days. Bcbs that is. Talk to as many people as you can. If they said that is all you needed then it should be pretty simple to get approval!

I am sorry you are going thru this. Just don't give up! Things will all happen in His time, remember? Keep preparing yourself in the mean time. You may get a date that is super close once approved! Continue or start exercising, cut your calories down, etc. It will help prepare you for things to come. Keep your chin up!

I GOT MY DATE!!!!!!!! MAY 6! Holy cow! They had scheduled it and didn't tell me! Haha... too funny. My pre-op apt is April 17. Things are flying now! Keep up your good work everyone. Your times will come before you know it!!

Yay!! I'm may 6th also

Thanks for the encouragement . I have my date. It will be in June. Whoop whoop

Ladies' date=' you all are so excited and ready for surgery that it's contagious. Everything is going to work for each of you just as and when it's supposed to. I cannot wait to read your success stories by the time I'm ready to go in. I've just had my 3rd of 7 required weigh-ins (blue care network). They're telling my date will be mid- to late-August. I was disheartened initially, even deciding not to have surgery. That decision lasted all of 1 day. ☺ After the seminar I thought I wanted the bypass but have decided on the sleeve. Fortunately, an acquaintance had the sleeve several months ago and looks absolutely fabulous!! We've talked and she's volunteered to coach me. She is so transparent and very excited for me. I'm glad during this waiting period my nutritionist is introducing the habits I required post-surgery. This change is requiring lots of prayer and I know I'll succeed. [/quote']

YIKES!! Forgot about this post. So much has happened and I'm scheduled to sleeve 11/19. Most problems was getting all doctors to send their releases in. A couple I had to go pick up and drop off or fax myself. But I know it's more important to me than them.
