Had my last appointment yesterday and dr's office said they had everything needed to send to oxford and they would submit it either today or Friday. I think this is the worst part, working so hard the last few months and doing everything that was asked of you and now all you can do is wait.

I'm also waiting. It was entered into BCBS system 7/1. I was told to allow them 30 days' date=' but it generally takes 1-2 weeks. So I'm hoping to hear very soon. I'm in MS with BCBS of AL. (lowes).[/quote']

Excited )

After they call you ???

What is the next honey ....

I wish you the Best )

I am from Missouri and from what I understood it will take 3 weeks

Ok not bad )

Well I'm back!!!! Had my final dietitian visit today and my packet was submitted to oxford late this morning. So now I play the waiting game.....again. but I'm thankful that I'm here.

With all that how could they deny you!!! My bmi was 40 on the nose. My only condition was type 1 diabetes so its a good thing my bmi was what it was cuz type 1 isn't a condition that would make my insurance cover it otherwise. I'm VERY fortunate that my insurance is covering it 100%. I know most aren't so lucky. We'll definitely have to keep each other updated since our surgeries are so close to each other!!!

My tentative surgery date is sept. 23 my paperwork was submitted this morning to my insurance company. I am only thinking positive thoughts. And preparing for September 23rd.

ETA: Mt starting bmi was 49.
