So after 1 seminar, 6 weigh ins, 2 therapist apts, 1 support group, and an h pilori blood test....I'm approved. The only good thing about my approval process, is my ins. Company gives instant approval. What a long process....but very thankful now!

I also have BC/BS so I hope my approval is as fast as yours today I see my doctor after I've completed all my weigh ins and meetings and all that fun stuff . So the next step is to put in the request with my insurance.

How did it go??? I'm pushed back for my pre-op until may 3rd....grrrrr. Looking at June 5th as a surgery date now.

I have bcbs of mn and mine was submitted yesterday! I hope it works, I was denied within 3 days last time because of miss info from ins to doc they said I needed 3-4 pre op req visits I actually needed 6 for the sleeve, so I'm done now and should be no fight but ins is ins so who knows! They have 10 days or so he said to approve or deny. I'm a revision and on the books for June 10 pending approval!

Eric -- Did you get your auth. I have Dr Takahashi and my surf is June 20. Just a week left.

I asked this question in another forum sorry if your reading it again. I finished all the requirements it took me six months. Today I called my doctors office asking for the status on my insurance ( that's sugar we were waiting for it was submitted last week) and they told me I was approved for the hospital stay but it's still pending for the sleeve, for the surgery. This has really freaked me out I'm wondering if there going to deny me now. She said once they know something they will call me back. Im tempted to call Tuesday (haha) to see if they heard anything. I'm so nervous that I'm going to be denied now. Has anyone gone through this? Oh and I BCBS MI.

What* not sugar darn phone =)
