Fepblue Federal BCBS approved me yesterday, no date yet but I'm hoping for mid October, I'm at 306lbs goal is 200lbs by my birthday in June.

Woot, woot! Good for you. Good luck!

Congratulations. I have verbal approval also but have not received the written approval letter. It should be here any day since it was mailed on September 18th. My doctor's office does not schedule your surgery until they receive the written letter to make sure the surgery codes are correct on the letter providing proof the ins. co. approved you for the correct surgery. I know I will have an October date, but right now do not know the exact date. When I spoke to my doctor's office on 9/24, I was told they are now scheduling surgeries for the second week of October.

Hope you get your date soon.

congrats I am so happy for you

Awesome!!

Congrats. You are on your way!
