Just called BCBS to get the status of my surgery claim and it has been approved! This is mind blowing, I started the process on April 11, 2013 - expected this to be a 3-6 month process, easy. BCBS received my paperwork from True Results on Friday and had an answer for me today - Monday! Considering business hours, I really don't think it took them 24 hours for an answer.

It just got real.

Wow congrats!!! Did they originally tell you that you would need to see your physician for 6 months? Curious because that is what mine has said and I have BCBS.....if so I would like my surgeon to request approval now!!!

No, no waiting. I can schedule as soon as they get the letter, which was mailed today. My very very first appointment was April 11, 2013.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
