Just went for my last weigh-in this morning and I got a call 30 min later saying my surgery is scheduled for 10/09!!!!!!

You are soooo lucky!! Congratulations & good luck with your surgery! Im going to ask my dr's office to do the same. Hopefully I'll get lucky too lol.

I was told that BCBS is being more lenient now!!!

I sure hope that's the case for me LOL. I just wish they would get rid of the 6 month (7 consecutive) supervised weight loss

Congratulation yay!!!

Congrats your surgery date will be here before you know it

Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

I just can't seem to wrap my head around this! My surgery was supposed to be in Dec and now it's only three weeks away!!!

I was literally approved in 30 min!

Oh so cool. Why in December?

Did they change the 6 month requirements?

It has to be 7 consecutive months....the first month is your actual starting date!

Ok thanks my start was April this month makes 6 and October counts 7 then insurance approval I just wish it was going by faster

My first weigh in was appointment with my family doctor April (we discussed weight loss etc but It wss not submitted as a weigh In) my first surgeon appt was june and last weigh in was Sept. I did not have to do 7 months. I also was approved very quick! Insurance coordinator faxed on Monday afternoon and Tuesday I received an email from bcbs of ia stating all was approved. Whoo Hoo! I am super excited to get this journey and my new life started!!
