Congrats, I am June 6..its soo close

no pre-op diet for me. So excited to finally have a date and start my count down

6/6/16 will be the date

Surgery scheduled for 6/6/16.

still no surgery date...still no call from tje surgeons office to tell me Im approved...STILL WAITING Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

How long typically from insurance approval to surgery? I was approved by insurance on 4/28/16 and am really hoping for a early to mid-May surgery. The doctor at our last appointment said that I wouldn't have to do a pre-op diet. The catch is I know I was approved because I have been following the submission so closely...however, the coordinator hasn't actually called to tell me that I have been approved. Oh and the coordinator is also the scheduler. So I have called last week to leave her a message and the doctor knew about my timeline back in February when I started. The Coordinator messed up the first submission and that delayed it all a week and now she isn't calling me back now that I have approval. So how long out was scheduling for this that have approval? Thanks

now to get scheduled.... Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Finally approved!

I was APPROVED!!!!! So excited. But I found out that the coordinator for my Dr. is also the scheduler and if anyone has read my posts she isn't the easiest to work with and not the nicest person. Wish me luck for a surgery date soon...

Still waiting. I called and insurance says 5-7 business days to process. So even though I know I have to hear something by Friday I still log on and check it like 7x per day.

I really like Dr. Chin and Dr. Moy (Moy is actually my Dr) but the office staff is just horrible. I am lucky that I can see my authorizations online thru my insurance website and thats how I knew the first submittal was incomplete. It took me a full week to even get Gina on the phone (after MANY emailed and messages) and she seems so bothered by me calling. I see my correct submission now and like you hope to hear something by next week. I debated changing surgeons but also worries it would delay any progress I had made. BUT...that being said I am glad my post helped someone else advocate for themself. Who knows how long we would all be waiting if we left it up to their office staff. Lets hope for surgery soon and smooth sailing from this point forward. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App
