I know just how you're feeling! It's exciting but having insurance paperwork done makes it all so real, doesn't it? Don't worry (but of course you will!) this is a really positive step you're taking. I'm about 2 months out, 30 lbs down and I'm really glad I did this.

Best of luck and good wishes to you!

Thank you!! You are right, it is becoming so real!! I appreciate your encouragement and well wishes! Congratulations on your success as well!!

Hello MNgirl1234!!! Well I believe I am approved!!! I got impatient and called my insurance company myself to inquire on the approval....I called BCBS this morning.... and low and behold they gave me approval number and approval dates! I didn't quite understand the approval dates? BCBS gave me dates within the next two weeks to get the surgery done! Have you heard this before or has anyone on this forum heard of this? If so feel free to chime in!

I was a little confused since my doctor office hasn't called me yet , so I expect them to be calling me anytime now I hope! I emailed them as well letting the know! Maybe you should call your insurance and find out like I did. I was just getting so impatient that I had to find out something! lol

Aww, I'm so happy for you!!! I called today and was on hold for 15 freaking minutes for them to tell me it's still pending.☹

Mngirl1234, thank you I am excited .. still haven't heard back from doctor ... but hopefully tomorrow.

Well they never told me the exact date of when everything was submitted it seems like it was anywhere between the 15th-20th of Feb... and I called them this morning. so like a week or a little more!

But keep calling them! I heard of people calling everyday and checking up on it.

How many days has it been since they submitted yours?

They submitted my paperwork on February 22nd, so it's only been 5 days, but I'm so flipping impatient! It feels like it's taken me forever to get here, so I'm more than ready to get this party started!
