May date but not approved yet

[heatwhip 166]

So my date is 5/22 but I am not done my last step (final nut appt.) until May 8, and then they can submit to insurance.

I have a 38ish BMI, severe sleep apnea (have a CPAP), high cholesterol, high triglycerides and a fatty liver. I have BCBS Anthem of CA.

My husband already took a week and a half off work for the surgery because we have 2 little ones. I am so nervous that I will get denied and my husband will have this time off. My doctor seems to think it won't be a problem but reading on here makes me think most people get denied at first.

Anyone else dealing with the same thing?

bCBS is amazing! You are already approved because they will not give u surgery date if u weren't approved! If you did everything BCBS ask u to do you will good to go! Don't let anyone make you feel like ur not approved! Best luck to u!

Doctor scheduled without final approval. Thanks you made me feel better and I also talked to my husband, he said he can cancel his days off I'd he needs to and will just need a few weeks in advance to request at another time.
