For those of you who don't know your date...

I am waiting for approval from insurance, submitted on Jan 9th. Does anyone have fed bcbs? And if they do, how long was the wait for approval.

Just an fyi...We all should be taking Vitamins anyway. Whether you get the sleeve, bypass, lap band or any other weight loss surgery. We should be taking vitamins. Even if you aren't having surgery you should be taking vitamins. I heard a lot of people speak against the bypass due to one of the reasons being dependent on supplements for the rest of your life, but technically shouldn't we be doing that anyway??? Is that such a bad thing???

I am not quite sure when my date is, except that my Dr has submitted my file Thursday. I am hoping for the best. I hope there are no suprises instore, like insurance changes or requirements. I just did my blood work today and now just need to wait on the PCP clearance letter, so I am hoping at least by the next month.

Finish my classes in May. Hoping to have surgery no later than July. It'll depend on how accommodating their surgery schedule will be, but I will definitely ask to be put on a cancellation stand by. By that time I plan to be ready to go at a moment's notice.

My last nutrition appointment is April 20ish so hopefully may or June for surgery. My birthday is June so that would be cool.

@@harley_quinn25 How long do you think you'll have to wait?

[grocer momma 5]

I did these things also after I went to my first consult. I was hungry for more info! Bariatric Pal all the time and I bought books. I calmed down for awhile but as it gets closer I'm back at it again. I cant wait for March or April to get here.

[harley_quinn25 80]

@ they said somewhere between April and early May. I have to do 3 months of nutrition and weight management
