I was approved!!
Mchelle,
Wel there are others here that will know much more about how things are done out here than I. I had my surgery in Ohio, but after I was approved I went back to my surgeon to get the ball rolling. I had LOTS of paperwork to fill out, and then the appts. started. Now I did not have to go see a physcholigist,and it seems that quite a few people here did. I had to go see the nutrionist, have a pre-op physical, get a Gallbladder ultrasound, and when I told them that I had taken ONE- HALF of the dreaded Phen Phen combo diet drug, my surgery was put on hold until they could do an Echocardiogram to rule out any heart damage. Boy, that was scary because at that time, I was just so desperate to have my surgery, and the cardioligist was booked, so I begged and cried till they fit me in. At that time, I was not going to settle for any postponements!The next several weeks will problably be quite busy for you as you prepare for surgery, in a way that is a good thing, so you don't dwell on what could go wrong. ( Although you will anyway, we all did!) I wish you the best of luck, and please let us know what is going on with you.

I thought you meant right before surgery, I have actually gone through all of that, Psych eval, Nutrtional eval, PCP referral. The last thing was to get the approval from BCBS. So I meet with Dr. Duncans office on Tuesday. I assume for them to give me a surgery date and do my pre-surgery tests? I don't know what comes next.
