Yes I just finished my last class and everything is done. Wondering if I should call and see what’s next or just wait and see what happens.

Yes I only have to do 5 nutritional classes tomorrow is my last one and they’ll submit everything, hoping I get approved omg

So you went through all the tests, nutritional classes, psych eval, and all that and they denied you? Didn’t the hospital check to make sure this is something your insurance would cover pending you did everything required?

What?? What do you mean??

Wow that’s great, when is your surgery?

Awesome! This gives me a ton of hope and congrats!

Wow awesome! This is giving me hope that it won’t take forever for an approval

Yes I’m in New Jersey and the surgeon is very well-versed in what is required. I am hoping all goes well and I get to update this forum with a surgery date. Congrats to you!

Wow that’s amazing! Please keep me updated with your surgery!!! That’s amazing you’re almost there! Good luck and please let me know how it went!!

Wow it only took a month? I had to have test, bloodwork, a psych eval, and 6 nutritional classes. I finished everything and I have one more class left on Monday. I am hoping it won’t take forever and a day to get approved I am so ready for this. Did you get the surgery?

Thank you and good luck with your continued journey

Thank you so much! I have one more nutritional class then my team will submit everything I am hoping to have the surgery within 8 weeks.

Does anyone have BCBS? How was the overall process and how long did it take for approval?

I have Horizon BCBS and I have one more nutritional class on Monday then hopefully they’ll submit all of my documentation to my insurance provided abs everything goes through. I think this whole process is more stressful than the surgery!

You all are so lucky!! Please keep us newbies updated! Good luck everyone!

Hello everyone! I am new to this site and I am so happy I found it! I began my wls journey on September 1st and I am nearing the end of the line. I’ve had my bw, GI, Endoscopy, psych eval, and I have 1 more nutritional class on Monday. I am hoping that everything goes through and my insurance provider approves the surgery. I am just so ready for it. I was kinda nervous about the approval because although my insurance doesn’t require me to lose any weight I did gain about 4 lbs since my initial weigh in and I thought for sure when they submitted my paperwork I would automatically get get denied because you aren’t supposed to gain any weight. I asked my nutritionist about it and she said as long as I am back to my initial weight by the time I sign my surgical consent then I should be good to go. I have lost the 4 lbs that I gained and I go for my weigh in and last class on Monday. Anyone have a similar situation and if so what were the results? Also about how long does it take to get approved once all the paperwork is submitted? I am hoping for a date in February or March.
