I have BCBS federal and once I was done My approval was within 1 1/2 weeks. I was told by my clinic that it is the easiest. As long as you have done everything and packet is put together properly, You will get you approval quick.

I have BCBS and was approved within 2 days.. Ms Wanda is correct.. I turned in a package that was so organized that they made it a pointto tell me how they appreciated it. My case manager was God sent too.. BCBS is pretty good. very happy with them

Thank you both!

I have a question...if I used my ER records from 2011and 2012 that state my weight (I didn't see a reg doctor between summer of 2009-nov 2012) do you think they would accept that for the 2 yr medical history???

Probably! I didn't have a two year medical history really and was fine!

I have BCBS Fed also and was approved within 2 weeks. I also didnt have a steady 2 years of doctor visits but they took my 2009 records and my 2012 records. Easy peazy! I was most worried about not having the 2 year documented weight but it was fine.

just wanted to add my 2 cents...i have BCBS Federal, there was a lapse in my dr visits as well. I went to my OB/GYN & got a good weight & BP history from him for the past 2 years & he wrote me a letter as well as my PCP. Hope this helps & good luck!!

Good luck!!! They were really fast and easy with mine. My patient advocate submitted mine 5/28... it was approved 5/29 but I called the insurance company 5/31 and that's when they informed me when it was approved.

Awesome. Have you had surgery now?

We submitted mine today and BCBS called back and asked for a tentative surgery date so hopefully that means good news.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
