Please explain...

I do have insurance, in fact recieved a pre-approval for WLS. I just completed all my specialist appointments, and met all criteria. So now I have to wait for Final approval??? Well what was the point of the pre-approval, and why does it take 2 plus weeks??

And just FYI.. It is Anthem of CA BCBS

 
For most people it takes 6-24 months.  Two weeks is nothing.  You also have the option to self pay if you don't want to wait 2 weeks.  I was not willing to wait a year for surgery so I self paid instead.
