I have spent 6 months of monthly doctor visits, had blood drawn for labs, gathered paperwork documenting 3 years of weights, and completed sleep study. I have a BMI of 45, I have high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I meet all my insurance company's requirements to qualify for surgery. My surgeon's office submitted to BCBS and they came back requesting all the documents for review. Surgeons office said it will take another 4 weeks before an approval or denial. Seriously?? Good grief!

It probably won't take that long. That's what they all say but it usually happens sooner. I was told it could take up to 3 weeks and I was approved in less then 2 days. Hang in there!

Wow! I could only hope to be that lucky! Thank you for your words of encouragement!

I also was told it could be up to 30 days and got approved in 2 days.

@@Bamagirl Yep sounds about right. The patients game is a right of passage
