Unfortunately, I had to delete this post due to privacy concerns.

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!

No experience with that insurance - BUT I sure love that Doc. Regardless of how long it takes to get an answer, this is the longest part of the entire process (IMHO). Good Luck and keep us posted.

Hi - Welcome to the NC boards; I'm sure you'll be pleased with everyone's support!  I have BCBS and went through Duke.  My approval was received in just a couple of days.  I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Hi and welcome to the NC board.  I hope your time here is wonderful.  This board is filled with many wonderful and supporting people, so feel free to ask any questions.

I have Empire BCBS and my approval was given in 48 hours.  Good Luck.  I will be saying a prayer for you.  I know sometimes the hardest part can be waiting for insurance to approve your request.

Hi and welcome to the board! My insurance is BCBS of NC and it was approved the day it was sent in. That morning the dr's office called to say they were submitting it. By noon they called back and said it was automatically approved because the my surgeon's program is located in a Center of Excellence.  My surgery is Oct. 6th! YAY!!
Good luck and enjoy the board!
