I finished my doctor supervised 6 month weight loss program and met with my surgeon, nutritionist, and had a psych evaluation on May 7th. Got all the paperwork in order and submitted on May 26th. I was approved on June 8th and my surgery in July 2nd.

My surgery is scheduled for July 2nd, the 4th will be fun this year, and i am planning to go back to work on July 13th. I work in IT and have a desk job so hopefully that will be enough time.

It was submitted on May 28th, so exactly 14 days. I have United Healthcare here in Colorado. When I changed surgeons and scheduled my initial consult they managed to get my consult, psych eval, and nutritionist consult all done in the same day. I had already done the insurance required 6 month doctor supervised weight loss but my consult with the surgeon was on May 7 and i was approved just over a month later. I'm glad I switched surgeons this new one was on top of things.

It was, I started the process with a different surgeon almost a year ago so I had plenty of time to do my homework. I still had doubts with all the insurance horror stories I have read, but in the end I had everything covered.

Congrats! I'm hoping to get that call soon as well. My paperwork was just submitted. My surgeon's office has me tentatively scheduled for July 2nd.

Sucks. Fear of this keeps me up at night. I just started the insurance approval. I think I've done all my homework so hopefully all my ducks are in a row

I have completed my 6 month PCP supervised with loss and have my 5 year weight history. Had my initial surgeon consult, psych eval (cleared for surgery) and nutritionist consult today. Hoping to get that all submitted by the doctor's to insurance next week. I have my fingers crossed
