    lsmith715 got a reaction from Stephanie_K in I'm approved!   
    Finally got the call today that I'm approved! Surgery is scheduled for 11/17. I'm so excited. My nerves of waiting for the insurance are gone. But now the real nerves are setting in. It's amazing to think next year at this time I'll be a completely different person.

    lsmith715 reacted to 4LoveOfLife in Insurance Request Being Submitted!   
    I'm waiting too. It's been 15 (calendar) days since my surgery center submitted for insurance approval. I have UHC and that will not be covering my clinic next year. I weigh 247 (down from 256) and am 5'5". I checked today and UHC confirms they received the request but hadn't processed it yet. I keep having doubts like "you should be able to lose this weight without surgery" but I have tried for so many years (and sometimes succeeded temporarily) that I know without drastic change I will just keep returning to my old behaviors. It's been over 10 years since I've been under 200 lbs, and it's taking a huge toll on my low back and knees. I'm so ready to move without being in pain!

    I found out I got approved today. I called the insurance thinking I could find out if it's being looked at & the lady said I was approved on October 12th. Called the surgeon's office and scheduled to meet with him & set my date. I feel blank...kinda like omg is this all real feeling.

    OMG this is exactly what happened to me except mine won't be submitted til next week, because my surgeon is out of town and he didn't write the recommendation for surgery letter before he left, so it has to wait til he comes back. I have to say, I'm oddly calm now knowing that it'll be next week at the earliest before I hear anything. I still want to get the show on the road and everything, but it's like I'm oddly at peace with waiting another week. I always have this belief that things happen for a reason and whatever the reason gives me more time to work on myself and make sure I'm where I want to be mentally going into things. Of course at this rate, I'll be having surgery in November, but that's ok because October is a sad month for me since that's when I lost my special brother, and considering how he died, it would be more stressful to me I think so I guess it's all for a good reason. *sigh* Good luck! Hopefully you'll get your approval fast! ❤️

    I've already called once today too. I was trying to hold out till later in the day but I just couldn't wait. I too am going to let it go till Monday at this point. It's so hard waiting. I've never wanted anything so bad in my life before.

    Omg!!! I'm that person too. My packet was submitted on Monday too and I'm absolutely dying from anticipation. I called twice today! Today it says it's pending. That's helping but I was really hoping to have an answer by the weekend. I have United Health Care. Good luck. Hope we hear something soon!

    @@lsmith715 I registered with them too. I called my RX co (where the scar cream will come from) and I was told the scar cream is $5000!!! Holy moly! I could get a Tummy Tuck for $5000!! But my insurance approved it, and my first shipment of Protein, my scar cream, and my Vitamins are on their way. I was assured I will never be expected to pay a dime. when insurance starts over in January, and I have an out of pocket to meet, then I won't be getting it, until my OOP has been met, and there will be no charge to me. They said if the products are delivered, but they find that insurance won't pay it, I can keep the product. It's a win-win! So happy a friend told me about this!!

    Well. I thought it was a hoax but they just called and said a months supply of Protein Drinks, bariatric Vitamins, and a scar cream are in its way to me. I knew they said I was approved but I really thought it was a scam. I'm shocked they got my insurance to pay for all this stuff. That's a big savings to me.

    I got my first call about 3 weeks or so after I applied. They said I was approved but had to send the slip over to be signed off from the dr. I got the call today which was about 3 weeks from the approval call that they were shipping. I got an email from ups with tracking for 63 pounds of stuff. I can't wait to see what all they sent me.
    Good luck! It doesn't hurt to apply.
