Waiting For Approval - Blue Shield Of Ca

[mja97053 2]

I'm so anxious....I can't even stand it.....I had the lapband in August 2010 and had to have emergency surgery to have it removed in July of this year....I've sent ALL information to my insurance and they told me that they have everything needed...still have High Blood Pressure and Type 2 Diabetes....My BMI is now at 36....I'm really hoping that I get approved...they are handling this as a brand new claim - thought they would be approving me sooner since I had to have the band removed......

Anybody else have the same situation and if so...how long is it going to take for an answer??? I'm not being very patient right now...

Call them up and ask what the status is. If they don't have it, call them tomorrow. Ask them how long it will take and repeat daily until you get an answer.
