Hi I'm also from NC Michelle Ery with BCBS state health plan. Where are you in your process?

[Michelle Ery 29]

My paperwork should be submitted to BCBS any day now. Waiting on my Bariatric coordinator.

[TMCK 4]

What is a long process. Did you have to have all test in before surgery date or did they give you a tentative surgery date. Also did BCBS take a while for approval. My surgeon told me it takes about 3 weeks for approval, but I've heard other say it didn't take them as long. Where are you going to have your surgery performed?

[Michelle Ery 29]

I had an upper gi, nut eval, psych eval. The surgery center will not set a date until I'm approved. It can take up too three weeks but some get approval faster. I have not been approved yet. I will have surgery at Wesley long in Greensboro.

Hopefully if everything goes well, I will be having mine at Duke Regional, Durham.

I have my endoscopy on July 10th and I have to have a sleep study completed, which is on June 27th. I also will attend my first class on June 27th. So I'm very early in the process. Don't have an appointment for psych eval yet. Sure I would love to join.
