Right. My insurance told me it could be between 6-9 months but the surgeon & my primary said all of there previous patients has been 6 months so I shouldn't be any different but still that's long

Yes, but it will move. I had 4 months of testing and appts, and this month is taking me into my 5th month. But it has moved so quickly!

@@JessNewGoals25 Oh wow! So you wait for approval and then start testing? What ins?

@@WaitingontheNewMe Did they call you or did you have to call them and then they told you?

@reinay86I'm excited for you as well! Good luck! & Thank you!

@@reinay86 I promise it comes so fast! I went to my initial consultation 10/27/16. I had to do 4 monthly nutritionist meetings. A Psych eval, a dietician appt, an egd, a heart echo, stress test and a sleep study. *whew* and finally all was ready to submit 1/25/17. So the 4 months was all. Who do you have for insurance?Oh and as long as my approval comes back asap, I'm going for surgery 2/21 or 2/22!

@@reinay86 I am completely done with my requirements. My file is now sitting with Aetna waiting for approval! So now I'm just stressing for my "YES" !

Keep at it!

@chobits81What insurance company do you have?

@@shortyp79 lol, I'm more excited for the yes. So I will call again on my 3:00 pm break, lol. Once in the morning, once in the evening is me showing restraint!

Dallas, Tx

My experience was a bit different. I went over my test results before i finished. So, now I'm waiting for my approval from Aetna and once I get that I have a pre-op appointment with my surgeon and I get my date! Hopefully you get yours Friday though! I'm excited for you!

In 2 days of testing, I racked up over $25,000 in medical bills, my portion was $1100, but, trust me I understand your pain. It really is about sticking with it! Vent, rant and keep pushing! I'm waiting for my approval now. So I'm still right there with you! It'll work out if you trust the process!

Congratulations!!!!

Story of my life right now. I had a bit of a hiccup with my bariatric center sending my info, but Aetna received all of my information 2/2/17, so... Now I wait. i feel like one little call in the morning and in the afternoon,daily, should help my nerves a bit, lol

I'm in the Dallas, Texas area, but I finish my ins req next month! Good luck!

I finish my ins requirements in January and am truly hoping for a February date!
