Who else is scheduled for surgery on 5/6? I have a pool of mixed emotions. Anxious and excited ranking at the top. My paperwork will be submitted to my insurance BCBS of Illinois this week and am hoping it's enough time for an approval to be returned. Please pray for me!

Sending good vibes your way!!!!!!!!!

weird, I didn't get my surgery date until after I was approved through insurance. I have BCBS but its COVA Care. My surgery is 5/8! Congrats on your surgery!

I have BCBS of IL and mine was approved in about a week. I don't know whether time of year has anything to do with that, or if that's normal or not.

I wish I could get my surgery date before insurance approval. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. Best of luck!

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the good vibes and feedback. I talked to the coordinator and she has assured she will be submitting everything tomorrow :-) This is my final item on my check off list! I just want to say I love this forum and the ability to post and hear back from fellow WLS participants like you :-) Wishing all of you the best as well on this great journey.

I am scheduled on May 8th so hopefully you will have some guidance for us! Good luck!
