SO on 12/18 I completed my last appointment and my chart was "sent" to insurance. On the 23rd I started calling the insurance to see what was going on. Everyday I called, they said that they didnt have it. I called my doctors office ranting and they assured me that they sent it. Well low and behokd, I call again todayand they never Frickin Sent it!!!!!!! I'm infuriated! !!! Now I have to wait again for it to be sent. I'm so irritated. They wasted 3 weeks all because they didn't check. Uhhh vent over

Ugg, that is terrible! Hopefully they sent it today, and your insurance will review and approve it really quickly.

I was constantly on the phone with insurance company and my doctors office during the approval process. It's your life stay on their butts about your paperwork and call everyday if you have too.

Thanks for understanding. When I asked how I was forgotten they had no clue. Its kind of sad because they have been stellar with everything up until this point. The office manager said she would get it sorted out and get back to me today. So we shall see.

I will continue to stay on top of everything. I refuse to fall through the cracks again.

The office manager just emailed me. She apologized, and blamed it on BCBS lol. She said it has happened before ????. They re-faxed it this morning.

So now I wait for my primary to deny, so that it can be sent to my secondary insurance. Ahhhh the wait is killing me, and its looking like January 20th will be pushed back. ????

What a circus! Did you call BCBS and ask them if they received it this time?

If they say they haven't received it ask them if you can have the fax number, then call the Dr's office and ask them to send you copies of the paperwork and fax it yourself (if you can) haha. =)

They told me it takes 24-48 hrs to upload into the system. All I need is the denial letter ????

I'm in the same boat. Insurance has not received my paperwork and it's been 3 weeks since I jumped through my last hoop. This is driving me crazy!

Trust me I deal with insurances she could have faxed it and because bcbs are a bunch of idiots received it but didn't log it. That may not be the case here, but at work we've faxed things got confirmation spoke to someone at bcbs got confirmation from the rep they received it, called to follow up and were told they don't have it lol

      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.
