I have BCBS They did say they have to give a decision within a 15 day period of receiving the paperwork from your doctor.

Yes. 15 days.

Its killing me, I guess there was an unexpected opening to be scheduled for my surgery and I was slotted in but I didn't find out until last Fri (Jan 3rd)- I am scheduled for Jan. 15th. It was submitted to Insurance that day and I am still awaiting a decision and I am being told its very common to take the maxiumum amount of time for approval in January as the companies are slammed with requests due to patients changing coverage.

So after thinking the earliest I'd be scheduled was to be Mid-Feb, I'm now on the will it happen or won't it rollercoaster and its freaking me out cause its like 6 days away!

FWIW I am also in FL, and I have BCBS Federal and I had to do a 3-month supervised diet. My first visit was Aug 13th and I am now scheduled for Jan 15th...so it went quite fast.

Thanks for your feedback. What has been the hardest part? How was the pain after surgery?

The hardest part is remembering to sip Water. For me mainly the mental part of not being able to eat like a regular portioned plate. I was a very fast eater before and drank so much drink during meal time. Separating the two was a real struggle. The gas pain after surgery is probably the worst part in that aspect.

Nothing to it. Piece of cake. You will be sound asleep and not know or remember a thing. Don’t even stress about it.

It was really easy and quick. They knocked me out and I don't remember a thing. I woke up and my throat was a little scratchy for a day or two but otherwise I would have never noticed any difference
