BCBS TEXAS - Check on Approval Status



Recommended Posts

I've read here that people have found out the were approved for surgery before they got their letter in the mail. How do you find out? Mine was sent off November 3rd so it's only been a couple days. I'm in a time crunch to get it done before the end of the year because I'm switching insurance and new insurance doesn't cover WLS.

When was your info sent in? I don't want to be too pushy. It's taken all I have to restrain myself from calling!

Hmm, don't exactly recall. I would look but I no longer have BCBSTX. It seems to me I either emailed or put in a support request on how to find out, they responded, and I took it from there. Is there a section regarding documents or something?

I called my insurance company and they were able to tell me they had not got my paper work yet. The lady was so nice and told me they have to tell you give it 30 days, but she said it really only takes about 7 days. So give them a call, they are really nice. At least BCBS of Al is.

Okay I just called! ???? it got to them yesterday on the 4th not the 3rd like my caseworker said (may have been late in the day when she sent it) so it hasn't been sent to review yet. ???? I asked her how long it usually takes and she said 7-10 business days. I've seen so many people on here say it only took like 3 days! I guess I will give it til Wed and check again.

Have you gotten your approval or are you still waiting?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
