Thought I was submitted last week but BCBSMA "lost" my info. Resubmitted Monday and just found out this morning that I was approved!!

They are awesome - I had no major hoops to go thru (no diet history; length of being obese etc). I started the process January 11th and will have surgery on April 11th. It would have been sooner but my doctor is booking 6-8 weeks out she is so busy!!

That is great. They approved me super fast too. My doctor's office told me it would take 6 weeks to get approval. But it actually only took 3-4 days.

And...the crazy thing...I live in KS, but I work remotely for a software development firm. That firm is in Mass. Had I been covered by BCBS of Kansas, they wouldn't have covered the surgery! Crazy.
