I'm currently going through the process and should be done in July with everything. I have CIGNA insurance. I have been hearing that it may take up to 30 days.

BCBS does everything electronic, once submitted, less than 5 business days

The requirement is within 15 calendar days, but most people hear back sooner than that.

I also have Cigna and when all the preop appointments were done, they advised me it would be 30 days for approval. It took about 2 weeks.

Okay thank you! i hope its sooner that two weeks, i will be done with everything July 5th, i am a nervous wreck...lol

I have Blue Cross Blue Shield and I have yet to be approved. I have completed 2 sessions with my nutritionist, 1 session with my psychologist, have completed my endoscopy, sleep study, stress test, ultrasound, and other tests, and I've read a recommended book called, "The Emotional First-Aide Kit," which was phenomenal. My insurance does indeed cover most of the surgery.
I have one or two more calls with my nutritionist and psychologist for them to determine if I'm eligible for surgery.
I'm anxious and excited.
