Submission Finally

[sportsmommy74 12]

So my dr's office finally submitted the paperwork to BCBS of IL yesterday, They said they received it, will do the medically review and then submit it to Team Care (hubby is a UPS'er) for approval. Hoping to have all of this done by May. Started the process in Nov.

Over here sitting on pins and needles. With all of my co-morbidities, I'm beyond ready to use this tool to get some relief.

Just excited and needed to get it off of my chest. I have told a few co-workers, but most just think I'm going out to have surgery on my legs for my venous reflux.

I can't wait.

Congratulations on your paperwork being submitted. It really is an achievement in this process. The next goal is getting that yes and you are close to getting it.

I understand why you can’t wait. I love my sleeve. Surgery went well for me as did folllowing the post-surgery diet. My surgery was 12/28/17 so I’m about 3 1/2 months post-surgery. The weight loss has been slow and steady for me.

Yay! What a great day for you - soak it in. 💐

Thank you. I just can't wait to feel good again. Seems like it has been so long. My insurance said it normally takes 15 days. Gonna keep myself occupied with other things.

Keep us posted how long it takes. Mines being submitted to BCBS of Oregon on Monday. I too have venous reflux and co workers think the same thing about all my Doctors appointments. I retain 20-30lbs of Water in my legs on any given day, it’s miserable and painful. Even taking 120mg of LASIK a day barely helps.

I’m praying all my appointments and tests will suffice.

I’m going for VSG, which are you choosing?

Yay! Congrats! I submitted mine to BCBS of IL and got my approval quickly. I hope you do too!

Hey just a heads up, I also have Oregon BCBS (Regence) and they quit offering any benefits for bariatric surgery on January 1st. I’m self paid but I wanted to give you a heads up.
