I had my surgery the same day as you and I'm in the same boat. I feel like I might have done this for nothing after seeing a gain. Are you able to get all your Protein in? I'm only getting about half in. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have been approved by insurance for over a week. I got a email yesterday saying my file was being sent to clinical review and to give them 10 days for that. I don't understand because it was in review for a month before they sent it to insurance for approval. What is a clinical review? How long would that normally take?

It is a safe place and people are really helpful and supportive here. It has been really helpful to me. This is the first time I have seen a post like this. But it's been entertaining. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I gained 10 pounds. I'm getting the sleeve. I'm not sure what plan it is, I'm kind of insurance stupid but my card says Aetna better health it's blue and white. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have Aetna and just got approved this week and I had a gain and was still approved but all plans are different. Good luck!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I got an approval in a little over 24 hours and I'm waiting on a pre op appointment to get my surgery date. I guess I'll get a date Monday since the lady is out of the office this week. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@laGata15 Your so not alone. I found out by insurance I was approved Monday. I have been doing the same, eating as a one last time thing. I feel really confused on where I should start. I'm waiting on a pre op appointment which I should get Monday since the lady is out this week. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I found out why she hasn't got up with me this week, other than my file just laying somewhere. She is out of the office until Monday. So at least I know why I haven't got a pre op appointment.

I think I will tomorrow, because it seems like that has been happening. Thanks!

How long did it take for the doctors office to contact you after you were approved? I talked to the insurance company Monday and was approved but have not heard anything from the doctors office this week. I got a email last week from them saying we should have an approval before the end of the week but haven't heard anything since.

Found out I was approved today! Waiting to get a date.

I got approved today also, waiting to get my date. Yay, we are on our way!

Thank you!

Is the surgery date they put on the form they send to insurance, the actual date of surgery or can they change it?
