February sleevers - waiting on approval from insurance

[Bsharp86 2]

Hi, this is my first time posting. I have a surgery date of February 11th. I'm still {impatiently} waiting on approval for insurance. I'm getting nervous!I'm worried I won't be approved. I started my pre op diet today, basically carnation instant Breakfast for breakfast & lunch then lean meat and veggies for dinner. How long did it take your insurance to get back to you? Mine was sent in 01/19. I have BCBS IL.

BCBSIL took about 7 days after surgeon submitted me but they mailed the approval so we didn't get the notice for another week after that. Plus the approval letter was a bit vague but the office was used to seeing those letters and knew right away that it was an approval. My surgery is set for February 26th.

Good luck with the approval!
