I'm done with all tests and now waiting for approval, wish me luck, anyone with the same insurance I have? any info?

Tks

yes, I have BCBS federal, they paid and approved second time. the first time their was not enough history of being over weight for more then 2 yrs. as soon as we added that information it was approved...best of luck.

Well my Dr office submitted the paperwork Monday 9/16, I hope to hear something by Friday

I have the same insurance. From what I have heard from other people with our plan they normally get approved within two or three days of the paperwork being submitted. My paperwork is going forward on the 1st of Oct. Please update and let me know how long your approval process takes.

Mine was approved quickly.

No news yet :-(

This wait is killing me, I called bcbs and they said they are still working on it and see if there is a real necessity for the operation.

I am BCBS federal basic and it took me about 6-7 days to hear something . I think I called every day from day 5 onward. They will tell you, even if they haven't had a chance to notify the doctor yet.

WOOT

got the call,...IM APPROVED...new me here I come

Allll RIGGHHTT aafe71! I've had my fingers crossed and they were tired lol! Keep us posted. I feel like 5 weeks is too early to say this, but I consider the sleeve one of the best decisions I've ever made.
