Awaiting insurance approval



Recommended Posts

I am dying over here! Been away approval for a week and two days. I checked my referral online and one thing is approved and the other part in process. I feel like the longer I wait the more nervous I get! Ahh!!!

I know exactly how you feel, although mine was not quite that long......my surgeons office submitted two procedures for approval....the hiatal hernia repair, and the sleeve......The hernia repair auto approves they don't even review anything regarding that....and then it was 6 days before they finally reviewed and approved the sleeve......the wait is very nerve wracking!!! Good luck!!!

I can't even tell what is what lol. I am just having the sleeve so I'm not sure what is approved and what is in process. I am giving it till Monday then I am going to call and find out. Maybe I will get lucky and it will change today!

I'm playing the waiting game now as well today makes day 5. And they don't show it online so I can only find out by calling, waiting on a letter in the mail or when the scheduler calls me . Needless to ay I am super polite but I call them every day.

Waiting here too! luckily mine only consists of a phone call to get approval but the nurse who does it said she would submit yesterday or Monday and call me as soon as she got off the phone. Well I didn't hear from her yesterday so looks like it's Monday. Lol good luck! :)

Nope. Found out mine is on hold due to my heart condition and they have to get my cardiologists ok. My cardiologist just left the practice on 4/29 lol.... So not sure what's going on now.

I call every single day today I finally got a number so I guess it's officially being reviewed because they have assigned it like the ticket number

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
