I'm sure it's just nerves, and i was told with BCBS it takes longer than most other insurance companies, but I'm going nucking futs. Had my initial dr appt in Dec, nut appt Jan 10th, and psych eval Jan 16th.... trying to wait patiently.... i estimated the max of 6 wks being Feb 27th.... 4 wks being Feb 13th. I called BCBS yesterday, and they said my status is still pending.... anybody in this boat with me?

Mine only took a week. I have BCBS La. That was only because Martin Luther kings bday was that Monday and they was closed. I received a letter in the mail actually from BCBS

Stating I was approved, before anyone called and told me anything. I didn't have to meet any requirements, so I'm all set up. Waiting is the hardest, just keep praying and if it's Gods Will. You got this!!!

I have Aetna too and it took about a week after they received everything. I was informed that they have 14 days to make a decision. Hopefully you will hear from them soon!

I had my first consult in Dec also. I did my whole check list. Now I found out the my primary didn't fill out my medical forms correctly. I'm so frustrated

That's what the young lady told me yesterday; 10-15 days for the drs at the insurance company to review the records....

I have BCBS Federal. It took less than a day for approval. I was shocked. I am waiting now to select my surgery date.

Once all of my paperwork and medical records were received and stress test and venous study done, it took about a week or so to get approved. I have BCBS of AL. I didn't have to have a psych evaluation but I do have a nutrition class coming up on the 8th and my surgery is on the 16th. I have to do a pre-op diet from Feb. 9th through 14th and the all day liquid diet on the 15. Keep calling and inquiring about it. Maybe you'll irk them enough to go ahead and do what needs to be done to get you approved. Good luck to you!

My doc should be submitting after my appt next week. I've been doing this since last May, so I'm very ready to move on and get past the surgery!
