Just an FYI in case anyone else searches (like I did).
I was approved in 1 week. Pt. Coordinator from surgeon's office called with the news (haven't had any contact with insurance company)
Had to submit PCP's letter of medical necessity and 5 yrs of drs visit recording of weight, plus a form letter (supplied by surgeon) with a list of the diets I had previously tried and note how my weight was adversely affecting my life.
I have a BMI of 50, and comorbidities of high blood pressure & joint pain (knees/feet)
Good Luck!
