Ok guys...

I finished all my tests and everything for the insurance company. Everything is submitted. I am now just waiting for my Doctor's office to call me and let me know if I am approved. They said my issurance company usually takes 15 days to approve. I have started buying things as if I am approved and just saving the receipts. I won't have much time to do all that if I just wait for an answer to do all that. Keep your fingers crossed. :eek:

I would suggest you consider calling the insurance company as well. Sometimes they seem more receptive if a 'customer' (i.e. patient) calls in addition to the doctors office.

Hey,

Thanx for the advice. My woman at the doctor's office who is handing my stuff is great and will call me as soon as she knows.

I have BCBS Empire Blue out of New York.

My insurance packet was submitted one day and I was approved the next. It was awesome. The insurance company (the caseworker) even called and congratulated me on my approval! They were wonderful.

You guys are so lucky with your fast approvals. My paperwork was sent in on Thursday and I hate the waiting and it has only been 2 days. Should I call them next week or should I just wait for them to contact my Drs office?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
