Paperwork sent in to insurance on August 27. BCBS-Federal approved me officially on 9/2. I received an email from BCBS Federal on 9/4 about the approval. I was notified by my surgeon's office on 9/9. Good luck to you!

Thanks! Yes it was quick. I get my date at my next doctors Appointment. Had my Labs and finally my EGD on this past Monday. Next docs appointment is 10/1/14. He will give me a date then.

PSRS520 -- waiting is both exciting & difficult! BCBS approved me in 5 days. Best of luck on your journey & be on the lookout for a thin white envelope -- that will be your approval letter. ???? Call your doctor's office to let them know you were approved -- if you don't hear from them first. This will speed up your surgery date.

An EGD is not needed for approval. I had mine on 9/22, weeks after I was approved. If your surgeon does not require one - run!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
