Ughhhh, After two denials, I am now working on it yet again with BCBSIL. I am so aggravated and I almost feel like just giving up. I was denied the first time because "I didn't include my 6 months preop diet"....even though I pointed out that it was on pages 21 and up. So they reconsidered after I resent it....then I was denied on 8/28/08 because my diet info was "limited"...this is really getting to me. It's now September 16th and I am just coming around to dealing with it bc getting two denials has been so disheartening. I am having my doctor rewrite my six months, but this is just ridiculous. I just want to be thin and healthy.....

Hey everyone, Thalia here from Tulsa, OK. Born in Lakenheath, England but was raised here in OK and in Hunstville, AL and Buloxi, MS. Up here we mix our grits with scrambled eggs and a lil bacon or sausage, whatchu know bout that?? Yet to be banded. I have submitted to BCBS and am still waiting for approval. :thumbup::eek::tt1: Be blessed!

That is awesome!!! And that was really quick! :wub: Congrats!! I hope mine is that quick and that I get some good news. I decided to call yesterday but it hadn't been reviewed and they told me that it usually takes 7-10 days. I'll letcha know what I hear, but best of luck with your surgery!!

Slim-n-tn...I also have BCBSIL the PPO plan and submitted my file on 8/21/08. Keep me posted on how things go and good luck! I'll keep you in my thoughts!

Hi all, I'm not new to the site, but this is my first post. I have finally completed all of the requirements for my insurance company and we submitted my file for approval today! I am excited, anxious and nervous all at the same time. I have BCBS of IL, so we'll see what happens.. Have a good one!
