Has anyone ever got approved within 2-3 months?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone got their sleeve from meeting the doctor to surgery? With the insurance and pre op requirements?

It all depends on what your insurance requirements are. They are oftentimes vastly different.

Took about 6 weeks for me only because I had a couple of bumps in the road. Lots of extra presurgery procedures.

When I had my band done in 2012 my first appointment was in May and I was approved in late June but my surgeon couldn't schedule the surgery until August.

When I had my sleeve revision we decided the very end of April, insurance approved mid-May and I had surgery June 1st.

First appt mid may. Approval late june. Surgery July 15th.

It would have been faster but people were on vacations.

My insurance did not make me do anything. That made the difference.

My insurance requires 3 nutritional visits 30 days apart plus extra things as well, but the nut visits hold up the longest. My first nut appt was beginning of April and I had surgery June 29th

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
