Pre-op Video #2 (Insurance Approval and Process)

In this video I discuss the whirlwind that has been my WLS process. I actually recorded it last Tuesday, 2/23/10. I got insurance approval within 24 hours of my information being submitted. CRAZY fast! I actually began this journey on Jan 9, 2010 and my scheduled surgery date is Mar 22, 2010.

I think someone at BCBS was sitting at the fax machine saying your name again and again waiting for it to come. Cuz that is crazy! :) I'm so happy for you though. Cassius is so cute. I'm so excited to watch your journey. You'll be on the loser bench soon. :) take care - jenn

Wow that reminds me of my experience. I started the process in November and with the holidays and everything I got approved very quickly. I am scheduled on the 31st of March. I was originally scheduled for today, but I had a sinus infection and had to reschedule:( I know it is all going to work out for the best though! We will be within a week of eachother!

I had a similar experience. My paperwork was submitted on a Fri - Mon was a holiday - and I found out on Tues that I was approved. In a way, it made me realize I really did have a weight problem that needed this surgery. If the ins. co. would approve me at the snap of a finger, it must be the right thing for me!
