My claim for vsg has been submitted to BCBS Federal! I've been really confident telling myself that my surgeon wouldn't have me going through all of these evaluations if he didn't think I had a good chance at being approved, but now I'm second guessing myself and worried I've been over confident!! I've heard that BCBS Federal can have a quick turn around time so I'm really hoping by Wednesday I will know. I really want the week of May 12th for my surgery. Panic setting in....I just want to know!!!!!

I've been doing the same thing. My paperwork went in on Wednesday. I am confident and I think it will be approved but I have been psyching myself out the same way you are doing now. I think we are thinking too much, lol. What's to be will be and I am attempting to talk you into a calm state so that I will be calm as well, lol lol lol. It's easier said than done. This process is making me anxious. I have called the insurance company to check that they received it. I am hoping for a fast turn around and I wish the same for you.

Guess its normal, I'm finding myself doing the same thing. My paperwork went in on Today 04/24/14. I am confident and I think it will be approved but I have been psyching myself out the same way you guys are. I'm going to try and sit back, relax and be calm because what's for me is for me and what door God has opened no man can close. On my way to a healthier life.

I was approved Tuesday!!! 4/22 it was super quick! My surgery is set for May 6th!!!

Awesome! Congratulations I too was approved. It only took 48 hours. I was so relieved!!

I hope I have this much luck and blessings with approval , I have just finished my required documentation and 6 month diet for insurance purposes and I will submitting everything next week. Did you go through a patient advocate or did you submit it directly to your insurance company?..

I hope you have a great experience as well. It astounds me at how much I've been blessed to have this experience go so well! My surgeons office has a nurse that works one on one with patients and she gathered all my required info and submitted to insurance. She as telling me all the staff at the surgeons office couldn't believe how fast it was approved!
