OMG, I'm so excited guys; I just called BCBS to check on the status of my case and they informed me that I've been approved for my lapband surgery! This comes on the heels of finding out I also got a GREAT new job, so I'm trying my best to get my procedure scheduled before switching jobs. Already put a call into my surgeon's coordinator and left a message for her to call me back ASAP!

Keep your fingers crossed for me that the timing works out! Thanks for all the support and I'll keep you guys posted on what happens.

:Dancing_biggrin: I'm SO excited right now I don't know what to do with myself!!! :party:

I'm not sure how I'm going to get any work done for the rest of the day (lol)!

Congrats!!!! to you. I hope timing is on your side because getting the band is one thing I've not regretted. My bandiversary date is Oct 30, 2007. If you have any questions about anything concerning the banding process, please do not hesitate to ask. I wish you much success during your journey. Let me know how everything goes.

Congratulations! How long did it take for you to get approved? I have Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey. They received all of my information on September 24th and they tell me it is still in review. I am getting so nervous that I will not be approved.

Hi Anxiously Awaiting...

My surgeon's coordinator said she faxed my paperwork to BCBS on September 24th as well. I called to check on the status last week and according to BCBS, it was only put into their system on October 15th and I'm already approved.

I have heard that it can take up to 30 days to receive approval, so I wouldn't worry too much. Look at it this way, if you were going to be denied, it would have happened already. They are probably just taking their sweet time.

Good luck though, keep me informed on what happens!

What kind of questions do they ask you at the psych eval?
