I was submitted last Tuesday and hoping to hear back this week. I'm told its with the nurse and being worked on. Ugh I'm dying!

Hi, i have the same i insurance and it took around two weeks for my advocate to get an answer, but she had to call. If she wouldn't have called it would have taken an extra week for the insurance to reply. So call all you want, they have to be nice to you anyways lol... My surgery is on the 17th freaking out!!! But the liquid diet has to be the worst part!

I am waiting for approval from BCBS of Illinois. I was submitted on Nov 22. I called the other day and all they would tell me is that they have the information and it is under review. They also mentioned they have up to 30 days to make a determination, but usually can get it done in 15 days. You would think there would be a better process given that insureds are anxiously waiting for them to make a decision.

I have a surgery date of December 23. I started this process in June of this year. Working through the six month plan and meeting the program requirements. I am ready!!!! Let's GO!!

Omg. I just called. UHC. I was approved. Took 2 days. Omg I'm so excited. Drinks tonight to celebrate then done!!

I've been approved but since it's snowing hard the bariatric center was closed
