Last Friday, I was sitting at home bored and I thought, why not give BCBS a call to find out the status of my insurance approval.  The doctor's office told me on my last NUT appointment that typically 2-6 weeks is the timeframe for approval.  Well, I called and was told that it was approved on April 1st.  ( I know April Fool's Day, LOL)  Letters were mailed to my doctor with CC'd copies mailed to me.  I received the letter yesterday and called Blue Cross to make sure.  Now I have to get an appointment with Dr. Richardson for a pre-surgery consult and a surgery date.  Hot Damn.

I could actually be starting a two week liquid diet Tuesday of this week or the next.  Dr. Richarson only sees patients for consults on Tuesday afternoons, so I am going to try like heck to get in next week.

This Cowboys fan will be bypassed before training camp, God willing.

Are there any doctors in louisiana that are taking medicaid for the sleeve. Since Dr. Steeb is out I have not been able to find another.  I have been trying for two years at no success. I am always too late or live too far(

Hi I was wondering if you could ive me the name of the Dr you found to do your surgery. Have a sister that was gonna go to Dr Steeb but thats not happening now any info would help....

WELL DR STEEB DIDNT STOP ME FROM GETTING MY SUGERY BECAUSE I FOUND A DR THAT WILL DO MY SURGERY ON MEDCAID

Did you get preapproval from tehm?  Or do you have to go through an appeal process?
