hey all, I am so thrilled to have ALL my pre-op appointments over! I have been at this since February and now Im done. The psych eval was not as bad I thought at all! I am going with Dr. Eagon in St.Louis, Mo so every appointment I went to was there and I live in Illinois, so I drove an hour to get to them. ugh, last one should be to meet with Dr, Eagon and set up a date ( I hope) and just wait for approval!! I am sooooooooooooooooo excited! Anyone else in my shoes on here?? whats your story?

I did contact BCBS of MN and they do not put the status of anything submitted for prior authorization on the website you can only see EOB's

My surgeons office submitted my paperwork today to the insurance company. Now its the waiting period.

YAY, Ive been waiting since the 25th....I keep calling and bugging people..lol

I am in the same shoes as you!!! I submitted my paperwork last Friday and now anxiously waiting! I REALLY want my surgery in November but we will see how this goes...I am happy that I made it to this stage. Thought it would never get here! Best of luck to you!

I thought I would never get here either! And now waiting to hear from insurance seems like an eternity! lol some people hear back in a day or two, but ,mine was submitted the 25th, so I hope they hurry so my surgeon can squeeze me in this year!

I've done paych eval and nutritional counseling so far. Ins approved 9-26. Appt with dr on 10-16 for date and pre-op tests. Need egd and labs. Then I'm ready to go!

I found out today that I am approved and scheduled for 10/25.

I guess I did all mine backwards. Went to seminar then psych eval and nutritionalist. Go dr on the 16. I have been reading everyone elses post and it seems the did everything before ins approval. I still have pre-op tests to do but already got ins approval? !

that is weird, I thought you had to pass everything and see an NUT first before insurance even approves.

Idk. Right now not sure. But I got ins approval so the journey begins!
