Fingers are crossed and prayers being said. My patient care advocate called me today to inform me that she is sending my paperwork to the insurance company for approval today... She said I should hear something in a week or less. Oh my goodness I hope it's soon. I have a $40.00 reward check from Lane Bryant and I would love to by something 4 sizes smaller to move into as a short term goal since it's free money that expires in 2 weeks. Soon to never have to shop in Lane Bryant will be great too. ALL SMILES

Congrats

Lovingme4me, my surgeon is Dr. Wegner in the same practice as Dr. Weaver! I live in Olive Branch, MS but I work in Memphis. Small world ain't it? I just went for my initial visit this past Wednesday.

Congratulations to all who are approved and good vibes to those still waiting!

Good luck band mom 3

Hello AuntieBev, Are you going to attend any of the support groups. Dr. Wegner had one Thursday it was very informative. The next one is the 16th I believe by Dr. Kelley. Nice to meet someone from the area on the site.

I didn't know about the support groups but I am sure I will attend at some time. I'm kind of overwhelmed at the list of things I need to do that the insurance (Cigna) wants and so far not getting much cooperation from PCP's office.

I switched my PCP and had the Nurse Practitioner at that office complete mine

I called the PCP's office to ask about the 2 labs that my advocate said I have to have & the woman on the phone was almost nasty about it. She talked to me like I was 3 years old. So I am not very optimistic about it going smoothly with them. It kind of burst my bubble since I was so pumped. I'm trying to get through that list as fast as I can. The time consuming thing is the 89 days of doctor documented weigh ins.

Sorry to hear that. You may have to switch pcp if you can. There are two other ladies on here on another form I have named Memphis. One had surgery by Dr. Wagner 12 weeks ago

APPROVED!!!!! I called BCBS and I was given my insurance approval and authorization code today. It was submitted on Tuesday.

Congrats. When will you get a date for surgery.

I'm not sure. I hope this week they will tell me when to come in and schedule it. The insurance company said I'm approved for August 21st but I'm not sure if thats the actual date the surgeon gave them or if thats the insurance coverage date that you can have the surgery after that day or what. The sooner the better. I will keep you posted.

I'm at my PCP right now waiting on the labs. I am so stoked! This was the one thing on the list I was dreading and she was so agreeable! She said they handle these cases a lot so I didn't have to do any explaining. She even agreed 100% with my choice if surgeon.

Yay. That's great good luck
