Mine is a peer to peer apt on weds

What'd you hear?

My suggestion is to keep calling insruance everyday. Dont wait for your office to get the call or the letter. I still havent gotten my denial letter in the mail but I called everyday so I knee right away and we have already scheduled peer to peer

You have an approval? Have them send it to you electronically or to your insurance portal and then send it to your surgeons office. They are so slow, do the leg work for them

That's a good idea! I'm on my drs preop diet because his is just a low carb diet under 40 grams a day, I always est under 25 a day anyway so no big deal here. My peer to peer k scheduled 11/21

72 hours in unheard of. Mine took 13 days and they wanted more information, sent that in then 8 more days to say no. I sure hope its that soon for you though

Waiting on surgeon to schedule the peer to peer. I'm hopeful cause I have to be. If they dont accept that diet as a 6 month diet because of the chart notes then it looks like February for me. And a new deductible and all that crap

I'm starting the appeal process myself, but I'm praying to have this surgery before the end of the year!

Anyone else not approved yet but hoping for this year? What stage are you at?

Damn. I'm so upset. I legit think it's because when they requested more info it said, that the patient is not being treated for GERD and my dr didnt address that and the insurance coordinator didnt catch it and sent it in. praying that's all it is and that we can just point it out in the provided chart notes that it's not indicated I am and dont need to appeal.

I cannot get this surgery next year, this is my only chance!

I dont see that group?

Do you happen to have the letter your dr sent? Sadly my dr knows nothing about insurance so I have to tell her everything to write lol. My surgeons office doesnt even know I have a denial yet. I'm sitting her fuming and especially not knowing they're reason! Sadly it's most like because of my drs crappy chart notes

Oh! So sorry to hear that. I agree you should definitely appeal. How disappointing for you. ((Hugs))

Hey you are still going to have a victory! Hospitals and Insurances, a "pox" on both of them. My local hospital has a bad habit, not submitting claims promptly, I had one bili come back on me, I could prove my insurance provider had pre-approved the procedure, they just didn't submit for 2 years. Luckily I had original paperwork, one of the few toms being Queen hoarder of the Western 🌎helped!

So you have to take two of the bariatric formula ones a day? With that are you using more than a months supply in 30 days?

I for one think 26-29 gram is still great, I also know it balanced my blood sugars well when I had gestational diabetes and paired with a carb.
I already knew whey is best but for me, drinking it is best and Premier Protein is easiest for me to get, find and drink
