11-1 surgical appt

12-14 testing

12-6 Surgery date

12-11 Insurance approval

1-2 Surgery date

So I had a quick approval. I went in November for my first surgical appointment. Nov 14th i did all my testing in one day.Blood work,Ekg, chest xray,ultrasound, barium swallow, shrink . 12-6 Was given a surgery date (my scheduler told me they just do the process and schedule the date. kind of forces them to respond.) 12-11 Got a call from the bariatric section of BCBS telling me I was approved. The lady was surprisingly helpfull. She was a nurse, explained stuff for after surgery and let me know they would be part of my support system after surgery. To be honest I didnt expect this from them.

They required nothing from me. My doctors office submitted everything.

January 2nd here I come!!!
