Stay on them!!! Call every day... Twice a day if u want. Mine was the same way!! It took a week before my case was opened and that following Monday I got an approval (after I had called them that morning and afternoon)

I called the surgeon's office to ask them about it and she said ( not yet). I asked her if I should call and she said no , to leave them alone. I don't know what to do. My pre testing is tomorrow and I'm just getting discourage ..

I know. I'm Nervous for that too. But everything should be ok.. Do you think it's a good idea to call the insurance ! Im so curious.. And worried.. .. I cant stop going to YouTube and checking updates on people that had it done already.. And I guess preparing my mind to what is coming ..

I'm counting the days. 15 more days to go. And very nervous

@Jocy...call the insurance comp. Just politely ask if they got your paperwork and everything they need and if there is a status update....I did...I don't have Aetna. But I called BCBS every single day sometimes two or three times a day...the squeeky wheel gets the grease!!!

You pay them, not your surgeon. They are your customer service. Call them if you want to. You will always be a better advocate that paid help.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
