I'm hoping for November or December. I met with one doctor who was a jerk, so I am now scheduled elsewhere. To save time, I chose the 6 month phone calls with ActiveHealth (through insurance). I am scheduled for a visit with the surgeon for August 5. I'm hoping to accomplish all other requirements between then and the first of November when I finish the phone calls. Then I submit for approval and get a date. So, as long as the docs schedule works with me, I can do November/December.

@Mistie I think it's great that you can do your weight loss visits over the phone. That also saves you co-pays (if you have any). I wish Anthem BCBS offered this to me as a viable option. Good luck!

If everything goes as planned ill be having my surgery in January it seems so far away and I'm anxious but I know ill be doing a lot of research throughout the six months. The wiser the better I suppose I'm 25, 5'4", and 230.

Where are you located . I'm always on YouTube and here trying to grab all the info I can . I went to the doctor and I was sooo shocked to see how much I weighed and realized that this has to happen immediately! I'm 282 , I wrote on the paper that I was 265 !

I'm right there with you, I had a visit with my PCP and weighed in at 282 as well, I couldn't believe my eyes. I too am now starting my journey, meeting with the surgeon for the first time Aug 15th. I didn't want to waste this month so I went to my PCP and had her put me on a supervised diet, so next month whn i meet with the surgeon, I would be on mth 2 of the diet with four more to go. If all goes well I can have a January date. I can't wait.

@@jss1988 - it's a great option! The other was the 3 months supervised, but since I wasn't with the surgeon yet, thought this was faster. Even more interesting, is since I just completed month 3, they are sending me a gift pack, has a pedometer, resistance bands for arm exercises, a cookbook, and a few other goodies. So glad BCBS finally approved wls!
