All -

I saw the dietician yesterday - she faxed the paperwork to my doctor this morning and I got the call at 4:00 today saying they got approval from the insurance company. I have Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey. I had heard that they were quick -

Now I am just nervous -

I am scheduled for surgery on April 29th after I return for Disney with the family.

WOW.......:redface:

Congrats!!! I hope my blue cross californiacare is as quick! my doctor just started the referal process today! wish me luck!! and again Congrats!

congratulations!!!! I have BCBS of Mass and my surgeon said they are really quick so I'm hoping everything goes well! congrats again!

i have BCBS of MA also. havent really been able to find anyone else on here w/ it.

do they require a 6 month wait ? i have had my seminar (march 24th ) & have my consult appt w/ the surgon May 9th.

just wondering what to expect & how long a wait .

I am in Indiana but we have BCBS of Ma through dh's work.

i have heard they cover GREAT!

BCBS MA does not require a 6 month wait, as far as I know. I have BCBS MA and don't have to do a 6 month diet or anything like that. Good luck!

thanks ! now i am REALLY excited !!! i wont start "happy dancing " till i hear it for myself ( may call my ins. today & ask ).....i'm to impatient to wait a my 23 days till i see the dr.

so , what all did you have to get done before they do the surgery ?

woooo-hoooo ( sorry....lol )
