Does anyone have BCBS of Tx that was approve for the surgery. How long did it take to get your approval? My paperwork was submitted by my doctor office and I was told that it can take anywhere from one week to 30 days.

It took a week and half for mine. They submitter everything by April 23rd and i was scheduling my surgery May 5th.

Ok thank you, I am really to start my new journey. Because I am so tried of being over weight

I have BCBS in Fl and it will be two weeks tomorrow since they submitted my paperwork. I'm super excited to start my new, healthier life.

I have BCBS of TX and it was approved within two weeks. they have a quick turnaround

I am so happy that I am finally on the road to success

I have BCBS of MA and it took me almost 8 months to get approved! I thought they were never gonna get back to me. Your insurance must be better, good luck to you!

I am kind of excited and can't wait for this insurance company to get back to me so we can move along

I'm going on my third week of waiting. Getting nervous but hope they let me know soon.

I just found out that there's two parts of getting approve for surgery which I didn't know. So I was approve for the first part the surgeon office have to send in some papers so that I can get approve for the second part and set a date for surgery. I am so excited I can cry lol

I have BCBS tx it only took a week for them to approve the surgery but all together it took me four months from first appointment to the OR.

If I don't hear anything by Monday I'm calling my surgeon. Maybe they can give me an update.

I was approved in 1.5 weeks. I also had to call my doctor's office and they called ins and I got a reply quickly.

You can always call your insurace company and find out if your approved. Just call the 800 number on the card.

Yes call the 800 number and tell them you want an update on the status if your case. I know it's been 1.5 week and I was call every other day. I just want to get this going. I know that I reach far and am not giving up. I want to set my date for July. I want to know how it feels to be able to tie my shoes and not be out of breath lol
