Awesome!

I hope you find out soon. My patient care coordinator told me on Monday that she was hoping to submit my paperwork by thursday, so I hope to hear something by next week! I have Anthem BC and one of the reps told me they have to respond within 5 business days.

i've been waiting over a week. i called the insurance company to follow up and they told me they requested additional information from the doctor. i called the doctor and they said they were on it... i'm going to call the insurance company again today. patience is not one of my strongest virtues. :rolleyes:

I have Anthem as well. My advocate told me when she was filing that they have 30 days legally. But she called me 2 days later with the approval! Yay! Surgery date of 11/4. Good luck! I hope you hear back just as quickly.

Oh no! I hope you hear soon that would be very frustrating. I have Federal BCBS and I have heard that they are fast with reviews and approvals.

I called my insurance company today and they have not received a submittal yet. So then I called my doctor's office and they said they are working on it. I asked why they didn't submit it last week and she said that they got to busy, Really? I am not a patience person, :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
