I'm sorry I'm just seeing this! Don't be afraid to keep calling! I had to do the same thing!

Hey guys! I'm so excited. Just got a call from my insurance coordinator and my gastric bypass has been approved! Just wanted to give you guys a timeline if anyone's curious. (BCBS Michigan) February 14th: Weight loss surgery orientation February 28th: began classes that are required by insurance. (8 weeks) March 6th: first appointment with surgeon. March 16th: Psychologist appointment. (3 of them, a week apart each time) April 19th: Last class. April 20th: Nutrition evaluation (required) May 3rd: Everything was submitted to insurance for approval. May 8th: Received the approval. I have BCBS of Michigan, overall the process was about 3 months total. I'm so excited for the future. [emoji173]

WOO you're getting so close! Don't be afraid to call your insurance girl! I was approved in less than 24 hours but didn't know it because I didn't call for like 4 days and that info hasn't reached my insurance coordinator yet. The good thing about insurance is you'll never speak to the same person so keep calling asking the status. So excited for you and thanks for the support! [emoji173]

Hey guys! First time posting here but I'm just kind of curious, I have BCBS Michigan, I was wondering if anyone else has the same insurance and how long it took for your approval? Even if you don't have the same insurance I'd still love to hear! I just got done with all insurance requirements, everything has been sent and now it's up to them! The nerves have officially set it. Thanks for reading [emoji5]

That's so awesome! June 19th is gonna come so fast! Ahh so exciting

Of course! I have my final appointment with surgeon sometime within the next week, he'll give me my date at that appointment. Do you have a date?!

I GOT THE APPROVAL!

I just took a screen shot, I'll be following those directions cause I had no idea what I was gonna say I was just gonna wing it [emoji23] thanks girl!

Just waiting for business hours & I'll be calling [emoji6]

I have completed all of the requirements and everything has been sent to insurance. Just waiting on the approval and then I'll see my surgeon for a surgery date. The insurance coordinator told me i would have an answer in 10-14 days.

Thanks for the info! Congrats on the surgery & best of luck to you [emoji173]

Thanks so much! Best of luck.
