Waiting on insurance approval!



Recommended Posts

So, do anyone know how long Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois will take to complete the pre-approval process? It was submitted on 12/6/16, I checked on Friday and it's still in processing.

Mine took about 6 days. I called daily to ask on the status.

I'm definitely calling tomorrow! So you the doctor normally wait for pre-authorization before setting a day for surgery?

Do!

When I called they said it has been approved and that I should receive the letter in 7 to 10 business days. They said I can go ahead and schedule my surgery without the approval letter because the doctors office can just call and verify the approval. I immediately called and spoke to the surgical coordinator and she gave me a date. My surgery was on December 8th

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
