The waiting game....sucks....

[hopeful11 0]

I'm in the waiting game now....all pre-op stuff is done..everything has been faxed into the insurance company...now I'm just waiting for approval. This is a sucky part of the process I've decided. I feel like I need to be 'doing' something since I've been 'doing' something for the past three months, every month, every day to get to this point. Now we wait in limbo to see if I'm approved. I'm scared to death. I don't know what I'll do if I'm not approved. I for sure meet the criteria...I'm just anxious to start the rest of my life....I'm told by my insurance that it could take up to 15 days to process my paperwork...so now I wait....

This is my first time posting, so sorry if this is incorrect, still learning the computer.

But, I too am waiting to hear from my Fed. BCBS Ins. Has anyone heard about the Nicotine 6 month test being a new test for the Ins. Co. for this surgery. I just went through all the Pre-cert for the lap band and when I handed in my "final" paperwork I was then told that I might have to have this done before the Ins. would consider????

Just wondering if anyone else had heard this?

Thank you

Congrats to you!!

I turned in my last months diet info a week ago this past Fri. and they were going to send my package to the Insurance co. I hope to hear back by Monday if I have been approved. Oh, I can't wait.

I will be watching to see when you get your surgery date. Good Luck!!!

Wow, April 27 is coming up! I had this big mixup with the whole insurance process because I wasn't in the system at blue cross. I changed in January. Anyway, they're supposed to have an answer for me by wednesday. That's the same day your having your surgery! Hope everything goes well!
