My surgery is the 17th and the paperwork was sent over the insurance for approval 1 week ago and still waiting. So nervous

Hi Jocy! I've been checking this post everyday because we're pretty much in the same boat so to speak. My information was also submitted to my insurance, (Anthem), last Monday and I've yet to hear anything. Unlike you though, I've been calling since day one just trying to confirm receipt. Didn't help matters that they didn't even show anything being received until late Friday. And now of course, it's been in the PENDING status. So I just wanted to let you know that I definitely SHARE your anxiety. So please keep us posted once you hear something.

I have Anthem. They have one of the quicker turnaround times out there. My approval through them took about 2 days. With Cigna my denial, and then subsequent approval took 30 days each.

So I'm calling them

And they saying still under review

The lady at Aetna just said she's gonna call them to see if they need any additional papers on that department to approve it or not. I'm so nervous. She put me on hold

I want to let everyone know I'm jumping up and down of joy!!! I received the call this morning. I GOT APPROVED!! I can't believe it.. She made my day!! AeTnA approved it! I can't believe it.. This is gonna change my life completely. I'm gonna be able to be a healthy person from now on. I have lost 8 pounds from the day I started my liquid diet and I just want to thank everyone that has been checking up on me to see if it was approved.

Yyyyaaaaaayyyy!!!!

Congrats, I'm so HAPPY for you! I was just logging in to ask you what happened yesterday AFTER they put you on hold. At least reading this gives me some HOPE!
