I submitted my paperwork for approval on 11/28/17 and heard back December 5th, and scheduled my surgery for December 28th! Barely made it into 2017.

Ugh I’m so jealous. Mines was submitted 11/29/17 and I still haven’t heard anything. Did you receive a letter on the 5th or the surgeons office called you?

I have bcbs. It took 3 days. I called and nagged.

My approval was quick, less than a week.

About a week. Once I had their "Approved" letter in my hand I felt so much better.

What!!!! That is amazing. Congrats on your weight loss and new life!

Yeah, we have bcbs of Virginia but live in Colorado so they didn't even make me do the long diet before hand. I had to have a nutrition consult and a psych consult and that was it. I feel totally blessed!!! I didn't even have any copay. The hospital finance person said she had never seen that before- I got the explanation of benefits and added them all up-more than $46000!
So thankful for this new life.
