Hello there, usually with Dr. J as soon as all your tests are in and you get your approval, depending on his surgery schedule no more than a few weeks. Both times I was approved I could of had my surgeries withing a week, but needed a little longer, so I scheduled out for 2 weeks.  My whole process, from my consult to getting the tests done to approval from insurance (first surgery) was about a month total. Second surgery took about 3 days and I scheduled out for 2 weeks later.  You're in great hands with Dr. J Good luck and I hope that helps you some!! Jo Ann

Congratulations! I can't even imagine going through a struggle like that to get approved. Good thing there are those like Obesity Law out there to help. Have to admit, I used some of their articles when I sent in my packet to BCBS....just some preemptive stuff.  So glad you got approved and hopefully you'll get scheduled soon! I don't blame you for wanting to shout it from the rooftops!

Kelley fought for me 2.5 years ago and won as well. She and Walter are pure dynamite. Congratulations on your hard fought victory!
