thanks @elginchris yaay us it seems like it has been forever

I just got approved I am so happy.....I am on my way to be sleeved yes yes yes

thanks

to hell with negative people you will usually encounter negativity from other people that suffer insecurities within their self...once I mentioned my surgery and someone replied I don't want to be the only fat person in the room hell no...my response I suggest you hit a gym or schedule you a consult and started laughing...people will show you who they really are when you start wanting to make changes or progress for yourself...it's funny how people don't see you as a threat because you are bigger than them but fear rules their mind at the thought of you becoming healthier not just thinner but applying longevity to your life....so again to hell with the negative people do what works for you and will bring a smile to your face...

Good morning, Just wondering anyone that has BCBS how long did you have to wait for your approval to come back after it was submitted

congrats one less target to hit getting to your journey

I had my consult on Aug 27 - all my labs and EKG was done ahead of time I got sick in July and the labs that my PCP did were the same the my surgeon required and my pcp did a EKG in July also on a regular visit. Sep 3- the surgeon office scheduled 4 appointments in one day at their office and Sept 12- had psych done Sept 13 patient portal listed everything as completed called BCBS this morning my paperwork is in review said will probably have answer within 72hrs...My process was fairly quick hasn't been a full month yet

At first I was going to keep it a secret..My co-workers knew because we operate like a family and so many people in my agency has had the surgery so it is no big deal around the job. Then I decided to let my family in on my decision and they have been very supportive with my decision. My family has always been a great support so I am not sure why I delayed sharing the news. My aunts are asking for my clothes once I shrink, my cousin asking can she have my bras (a lil TMI lol). Overall I am happy so the people that love me are happy and supportive I am very excited about my future and quality of life. Thank God I have not encountered any negativity. My words of encouragement to all is "do what is best for you as long as you are okay with the decision that you are making nothing else matters.... don't second guess yourself this is your life you have one shot at living it to the fullest make your shot count for you". Wishing everyone on this site with much success on their journey....Smile it is your time

thanks for responding...I saw a few more responses in another forum insurance and financing....

I was told that the data is transmitted to your doctors office asap...the way the lady from novasom explained it to me by phone is that once you submit the data your through the device wireless it goes directly to the doctors office...you can also call the place that will be shipping you the device to use for clarity
