I have BCBS of Il and was wondering on average how long it took for some of you to know whether you were approved for RNY.  I have a BMI of 42.9 and the paperwork with Psych eval, EGD, EKG and 3 months worth of weightloss attempts with a Dr.  Plus 6 years of paperwork showing from weight loss centers where I have used thier programs was sent this past Friday.

I am anxious to know whether or not I have been approved.

Thanks!

I waited a week then I called BCBSIL and they had approved me. I had them fax me the approval letter (which took about an hour). It took close to two weeks for me to get the actual letter they sent in the mail.  Good Luck!

Thanks Ericka,

I am just so anxious and ready to start me life again. I feel like a kid waiting on Santa to come! LOL!

Hi,

It took about 3 days for me, when I had originally submitted for RNY.

DS approval took longer (not sure if it was because of there change in policy on 9/15).

Good Luck!

Mine took about 2 weeks but I used an out of state hospital and that slows things down.
