SleeveandRNYchica 1,155 Posted March 22, 2013 Yep BCBS FEDS is quick. I got my approval in a day! And they had to translate all my information. Congratulations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EJamiFan 7 Posted March 22, 2013 I have BCBS, still waiting to hear from the surgery center. I sent my paperwork in almost two weeks ago. Hopefully I will hear from them soon, anticipation is killing me. I am on the borderline with my bmi so I am nervous that will delay approval. We will see.

xcillax 24 Posted March 26, 2013 Do you have co morbidities? My PCP said I could use the Fatty Liver and the fact that I have high glucose sugar from my blood work...but idk, I don't have high BP, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, diabetes or anything like that.

mswanda9577 44 Posted March 26, 2013 You can definately use the high glucose. I didnt have all of my two years an I got approved. I have high blood pressure and sleep apnea though. And even though didnt have the weight for two years, I still got approved. My surgeon said BCBS federal is the easiest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And even though didnt have the weight for two years, I still got approved. My surgeon said BCBS federal is the easiest. I was told BCBS fed is the easiest too, so i'm very thankful to have it! But I am praying that I get approved, wont be until the end of my 3 month supervised diet though, last appointment is in May! But congrats again!! so excited for you!
