1st Class at Hospital - On the Way

I had my class today at the hospital.  The one where they get your initial weight, bp, bmi, etc.  I should have my appointments by the end of next week for all of my pre-surgery requirements.  I had an exam and was told everything looked good and I should be a good candidate.  I have BCBSNC and I've read where they approve fairly quickly.  Has anyone had any problems with them or what should I look out for?

Thanks

I think as long as you're using a center of excellence things go really well for you. (I had Cigna) Good Luck on the next steps.

Blue Cross approved my surgery in less than 24 hours and I was on the OR table 3 weeks later.  I did have the high BMI was well as the comorbidities - diabetes, sleep apnea and high blood pressure.  I had "0" problems with BCBS of NC
