this feeling is sooooooooooooooo surreal. i cant believe that my surgery date is 2 weeks from today! i cant believe im on my preop! i just pray im approved! god plz

i started my pre op today. im trying more of a fast because i truly cant imagine drinking 4 shakes a day. i hope im approved soon!

thank you so much <3

OMG OMG OMG!!!! my insurance coordinator emailed me and told me that my insurance has called her back & requested more clinicals.... which means, they are reviewing my case! she said we should have an answer by the end of this week after 24-48hrs of reviewing my case. im so nervous!

how long did it take you to hear responses from the insurance company, denials & all?

wow! i am so sorry to hear that! i pray it all works out. im awaiting approval. tuesday marks 1 week since they claim my papers were submitted. im trying to be patient.

congrats! how long did it take for you to get approved?

30 days? WOW! thats a very long time!

ohhh no! im sorry to hear that. ive been at my drs office non stop so i have about 15 or more on record in the last 7months! i hope they dont pull that one on me

i called my insurance company and i swear, they are useless! the lady had no idea what i was talking about. i ended up calling my surgeons office.... smh! the insurance coordinator answered. she was so rude that i wanted to really curse her out! im super vulnerable & sensitive at this point & i expect reassurance when i call these people, not to be cut off & given attitude! i didnt even finish my sentence before she cut me off with an annoyed attitude & told me i need to be patient & basically wastrying to tell me not to call her! you would think i call her all day long the way she talked to me! smfh. im def not having a good day today!

congrats & good luck to you!

funny u should say that... ive had my gall bladder, tonsils & wisdom teeth removed! next better be 85% of my tummy!

i call daily! lol

good luck to you & keep us posted on how it all goes!

youre right! especially if diabetes runs in your family! my bmi is 50! im only 23! being over weight will eventually kill me because of the health problems headed my way! i pray to god that i am approved. my mom has diabetes & i dont want to end up on meds again! they had me on metformin in the past because of being pre diabetic! i NEED this surgery! dont get me wrong, i look forward to looking good too! but its more of a need than just want.

congrats on your approval! they never called you to tell you? how rude!!! if you dont mind me asking, whats your bmi? do u have co morbidities & wat insurance do u have?

i think they feel like they rather pay for the what ifs rather than pay for one large lump sum of bills such as surgery. also, i think if u dont have severe co morbidities, they give u a hard time! they told someone i know who was 600lbs that it was cosmetic! HOW THE HELL IS THAT COSMETIC??? i couldnt believe it!

oh woooow! thats scary. getting in touch with my insurance is the worst! its like trying to contact obama through an operator! almost IMPOSSIBLE!!!! i really want to call them but i think ill be so frustrated. i will call this week if i dont get a response though.
