Hi I have BCBS of Illinois they took a little longer to approve me but finally did my sleeve should be mostly covered.my surgery is scheduled for June 3 .good luck
Hello JenniferRdz,
I have BCBS of Illinois as well, however If you really want the surgery go for it. I am in the process of getting the gastric sleeve hoping in July 2014. I already did 2 visit of the Bariatric Psychology and I have one more 5/20/14. I hope that she approve it. I also did 2 visit of dietitian and 2 visit of nutrition. They have approve me for both of them. I did the bariatric information session on 4/16/14. My Surgeon is Dr. Elli at University of Illinois in Chicago. On this Sunday 5/18/14 @ 8:30am I have to do an sleep study. This has been a long wait however I been waiting for this weight loss surgery for the past 13 years. Now I am just praying that my BCBS of Illinois pays for it. Take care and I hope you get the surgery.
