Blue Shield of California just approved me, so I'll have a July date. Just waiting for the phone call from the surgeon's office to confirm dates. WOOHOO! I was originally told that I needed to do a 6-month medically supervised diet, so I thought it would be November, but Blue Shield CA changed their policy and no longer requires that. I started the process on 4/16/15 and am almost there. I'd love to hang out with the July cool crowd for support, @@Tshane and @LISALOVESVEGAS.

Going to my favorite restaurant (The Peasant and the Pear) for a Spiced Pear Martini and cheese fondue.

Blue Shield California did confirm that if I submit for approval after June 30th, they won't require the 6 month supervised diet. I have a 20% copay, so I will end up paying my maximum out of pocket of $6250 by the time I'm done with all of the pre-surgery requirements and surgery. It's still worth it. I'm counting the days.

Maybe we'll end up in surgery at the same time. Good luck with your journey. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Are you participating in their weight loss program to fulfill a 6 month supervised diet requirement? If so, it would be great to meet in person at the classes or at the support group. My 6 months will be done in October, so I'm hoping for a surgery date in November or December before my insurance maximum out of pocket amount resets on January 1st.

I just met with her for the first time, too. I like her and think she is very thorough.
