BCBS at least in michigan is requiring as of Nov. 1, 2003 that you show a consecutive medically supervised weight loss effort for at least three years. I was told in order to qualify, my surgery has to take place before Nov. 1. My consult and psych eval are scheduled for Oct. 8th. Is there any chance that I would have approval in time for surgery and be able to have the surgery by then? I was not in a hurry thinking I would wait until in December when I have more vacation time I could take.
