So my surgeons office finally submitted all my paper work for prior authorization I've only been waiting 2 weeks for them to finally submit it!!!!

I'm extremely worried that it won't get approved, I think bc I want this so badly. I'm Worried about getting a denial...

I've been praying and hoping all day for an approval so if anyone gets a free minute to say a prayer for me it would be greatly appreciated!!!

I'm waiting for my stuff to get sent for an apporval. I know the feeling about getting scared of not being approved. I feel that right now as I an closer to a date. I'm going to pray so that you can get your date soon. ????

I am also waiting for BCBS of MN to approve my surgery. My surgeon sent the letter and records on 10/1/14, now I wait, hope and pray for consent.

Got my approval today!!!! Now it feels real to me!!!

@@bridget1015 Congrats, I am envious. My records got submitted to insurance yesterday so I am trying to be patient and play the waiting game. It's not easy when you have been working so long to get to this point and to know that it may have all been for nothing, you are at the mercy of the insurance company. Oh well, keeping good vibes going.

OMG right after I posted this the Dr. office called and I was approved!! December 2nd is my day!! I have an appt. for my endoscopy at the end of this month and one class and some labs and my pre-op physical in November and then my 2 week liquid diet starts Nov 18th and I am on my way to the losers bench! So excited!! I hope everyone else gets approved this fast, I am blown away!

Congrats. That was a fast answer from your insurance company.

Chip305 I def know the feeling I was really worried I'd get denied and had my hopes up for nothing. I'm very surprised how fast my ins approved it and very thankful. I have an appt with the nutritionist tomorrow and buy all my stuff for my 9 day pre op liquid diet and to get stuff for after surgery. I'll hopefully know my date in a week or so! Thanks for the prayers and good luck wishes!! Good luck to you guys I'll pray for u also!!

Congrats! I just called BCBS today to check on my status. The paperwork is still pending. I need patience and prayers!

Hi everyone!

What a nice place Alex has set up for us here! As much as I love Spotlight and the Yahoo groups, it's nice to have a message board format just for us Bandsters. Let's spread the word!

:twisted: :shock:

Fun emoticons too. lol

Good luck on heating your date soon

I am also waiting for approval. My last appt with NP and NUT was 9/25. My paperwork should have been submitted on 9/29, but i'm not sure if it has. I'll call the office tomorrow to check status. Hopefully I hear something soon. I'm losing my motivation

Don't lose your motivation hun. I have been there before and it was not good. I already had gotten approved with my previous insurance and then they decline me a week later. I know this waiting game sucks but it will all work out.

Thanks so much for the encouragement!!
