LumpySpacePrincess 594 Posted October 21, 2013 I hope u get an answer soon...I'm getting sleeved in 2 weeks on 11/4...so once you have it everything will move quickly Crossing my fingers I get a (good) call today about it! I also keep checking my online services area under authorizations but nothing yet. I've lost almost 20 pounds on my pre-op diet, which is just 10 under what they were hoping I would lose so I'm pretty much ready! I'd walk into the OR today if I could! haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I received a letter from BCBS in April indicating they needed more information. Checked with the surgeon's office and they kept increasing the records they wanted documenting my weight loss efforts. Sent in more information showing 13 months of Weight Watchers. They requested my exercise journals (WTH??!). Less than three days after that and before sending them anything my surgical coordinator called saying she received approval from the case manager over the phone. That was in April. My On Line Services shows that they are still waiting for additional information five months post surgery. NOT the most reliable for sure! Hang in there - hopefully you will hear something SOON!!
