Greetings everyone..i've been reading the forum for a few weeks now and just joined today. I too am scheduled for a June surgery. I'm quite suprise how muchs everyone has to do to get approved. For BCBS of MI i was told by the office that there is no pre-approval all i have to do is complete a physch eval and submitted paperwork from my doc about supervised diet...done and done...But i still have to complete lab work, chest x-ray, EDG, EKG etc at the doctors request. as i read the all these helpful forum it seem so much more real..glad i found this group for support
