I was just curious on how long it took all of you to get approved? Did you get approved the first time, second, third? Am I gonna be waiting miserably for a week, 2 weeks, or longer to find out if I have been approved?

Depends on which insurance you have. I have BCBS- Federal and it only took 3 days. I was approved one the first try too!!

I am waiting for a reply as well! My paperwork was submitted a couple of days ago. I have Cigna insurance! Cant Wait!!!!

I have BCBS Federal and was approved in less than a week on the first try.

I have UHC I was approved the same day my paperwork was submitted. ( Under 2 hours ) Totally depends on who your insurance company is.

I spoke with someone from Cigna today! They stated that the process takes 72 hours (three days)!! OMG! I should hear something SOON@@@@@ Wish me luck!

I started going to my surgeon in Jan. after my insurance company told me the surgery is approved (in general....) I went through all the tests requested from my surgeon and scheduled my surgery for June 1st. Yesterday, my surgery coordinator called me to tell me I was denied. What a big shot to the gut (literally) that was. I was looking forward to it. My doc is scheduled to speak to the insurance company today to hopefully have it overturned. My BMI is not quite 40 and I have no other health issues but a history of very high blood sugar and multiple family members with type 2 diabetes and overweight.

I am waiting patiently but I am so hoping they change their minds.

I wish you luck on your approval. I was told they usually do reject but always try and appeal..........Praying for both of us!

Depends on your insurance company and many other factors. I also have UHC and I was rejected yesterday. I am hoping with 2 letters from my PCP for the last 5 years that the insurance company changes their minds.....I was set for June 1st surgery..........
