My wait begins - BCBS PPO

Due to a cancellation, and a very considerate office staff, I got in to see Dr. C yesterday!!!

I've done my psych eval, and seen the nutritionist, so now the doc is sending the letter of med necessity... and now I have to wait for approval!

*fingers crossed* for a fast approval!!!

 Good luck!  I hope you hear something quickly.  My paperwork was submitted for approval on Wednesday so I am playing the waiting game right now too.

Mine was submitted 1 1/5 weeks ago and I have BCBS PPO as well.  I am getting more and more anxious every day.  Today my family and I went to Golden Corral for dinner...I ate 1 plate and had some dessert.....much better than my normal 2 plus plate splurge.  Anyway, I felt soooo fat for the rest of the day.  I feel like all my clothes are getting smaller and I am swelling all over.  I am so sick of feeling tight and constricted all of the time!  I start back to teaching in 2 weeks and I am so embarrased.  I can't have this surgery soon enough.  I'm beginning to get a little worried wondering what I'll do if I get denied.  I just want to be healthy.  I had to have my daughter paint my toe nails this weekend because I can not comfortably reach them!  I don't know who else to cry to so i figured I'd let it out on here......I really wish there was someone close to me that would be having the surgery around the same time.  It would be so nice to have someone to talk to in person. 

I am so sorry not to have replied to you- I somehow missed that this post was written! I would love to be your surgery buddy, supposing we both get approved!!! I'm still waiting to hear... any word for you?

Hi Valarie,  Yes I was approved and have surgery scheduled for 1st week in September.  I can hardly stand it I'm so excited!  I am in Powder Springs....where are you?  I was going to use Dr. Champion a few years ago but could not get insurance that would cover it.  Now I am using Dr. Macik.

I'm also using Dr. Champion and submitted today for a BCBS PPO approval. Hopefully, you'll post some great advice preceding me along your journey.
