The Dr's office submitted to insurance 7/3, but because of the 4th, they didn't actually "receive" it until Friday 7/5. They require 5 business days. So, hopefully I will have an answer today! I'm going to call again this afternoon. I've been pestering the insurance company to death! Making sure they had what they needed and when I should expect an answer. I will be soo disapointed if I'm denied. But the nurse said she would be extrememly surprised if I was. She said everything she sent met their criteria for surgery. FINGERS CROSSED!!!

Fingers cross it's gonna be a yes. Come back post up

The waiting is murder, first the wait for auth, then the wait for surgery... I filed my time reading everything I could about weight loss surgery, studying all the guidelines, going to support groups.

Call!

Let us know.

Goodluck!

I figured I would wait until this afternoon! But you can bet I will be calling!! My husband is always telling me, "Patience grasshopper!" HAHA!!

I was stalking BCBS every day and finally got approval today! Call, it won't hurt keeping fingers crossed for you'
