BrokenWings, it took just under a week for insurance approval for me. My surgeons office sent everything over last Tuesday, it was approved yesterday and I found out when I called to check on it today. Hopefully it'll be just as quick for you!

Good luck everyone!

Congrats to you all! I am BCBS, I heard back after just a couple of days saying I needed a final weigh in submitted, to make sure I had gained any weight. I had to be on a six month program. I did that and they resubmitted on March 6, I got the letter just a couple of days later, the letter was dated March 6th! Go figure the same day?

Good luck to all of you on your journey!
