That's great news . I'm still waiting to hear from my insurance . I have Horizon BCBS of NJ The Dr. said they take 2 months to approve . I can't wait .I'm scared I mess up and go back to my old eating ways and gain the weight back that I lost so far .

My office says BCBS of NJ takes less than two weeks to approve once they actually submit the paperwork.... (they said they usually don't tell patients that, though). I'm also awaiting approval, my paperwork was submitted Friday.

Thanks ! I called the Dr.'s office today and they said they didn't hear any thing yet . I think it's only been about 2 weeks . Hopefully that means any day now .
