When you guys called your insurance company to check in what did you ask? It's been a week for me and I'm dying to call I just don't know what to ask them.




I just told them who I was and asked about the status of an authorization request that was submitted last week. About to call again...the wait is killing me

Hi All! :lol: I'm new here so my bad if I post something incorrectly...My surgeon's office submitted all required paperwork for a vsg to Regence BCBS of Oregon on 8.18 (last Friday) and as of this afternoon my "case is still under review". The Regence rep I spoke to said it can take up to 15 calendar days to reach a decision; which puts me at 9.1 at the latest to hear back. For those with Regence, or any other plan for that matter, how long did you have to wait to get your approval? Like I said, I'm new but I've got lots of stories to tell about the past 7 MONTHS I've spent fulfilling the vsg requirements :blink:Thanks & TTYL!


I have BCBS but of KY they submitted all of my paperwork to my insurance on the 8th and I had a response and phone call back from my Dr office on the 16th. I would give it a couple more days. But I was told they have 15 business days by law to give an approval or denial. The waiting game is the worst :-( fingers crossed you hear something soon

Thank you! Hopefully next week I'll hear some good news! Congrats on your approval!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
