I'm also waiting. It was entered into BCBS system 7/1. I was told to allow them 30 days, but it generally takes 1-2 weeks. So I'm hoping to hear very soon. I'm in MS with BCBS of AL. (lowes).

With all that how could they deny you!!! My bmi was 40 on the nose. My only condition was type 1 diabetes so its a good thing my bmi was what it was cuz type 1 isn't a condition that would make my insurance cover it otherwise. I'm VERY fortunate that my insurance is covering it 100%. I know most aren't so lucky. We'll definitely have to keep each other updated since our surgeries are so close to each other!!!
