Re: How long did it take for most of you to get your decision from insurance?

Dora,

I have Anthem Blue Cross/ Blue Shield, and although I was approved

in 3 weeks, they only ended up paying about 30% of the total

Surgeon's bill, and 70% of the Hospitalization bill.

I am in debt, but it was worth every penny!!

Good Luck with your Weight Loss Journey.

looking at so that I can settle down and not worry about it for

awhile?

I am hoping that my insurance will pay it all, but if they don't I do believe

that I am going ahead and having it. It is the only way to get my life back.

My husband has already told me that we can take loans out to have it done

because he knows it is important to me. I hope that I hear something soon. But

it is still early.
