I am getting very frustrated with my insurance company. I am awaiting approval and have been for 10 days. When I first called they told me it takes up to 72hrs. When I called after this time frame I was told 10 days. I called at 10 days and was then told it takes up to 30 days. Has anyone else experienced the inconsistency with them. I am hoping to get my surgery date before my daughter goes back to school in August. There only requirement is that you are 100lbs overweight. I called as well as my coordinator to confirm this.

Trifactor, I have UMR. It took a bit - I'd say a good 3 weeks to a month - for the approval to go through. But it went through on the first try and everything went really quickly after that. You should easily get your date before August. Hang in there!

Thank you quietcougar, I am just ready to have that date so I can exhale : )

It took a full 3 weeks for my approval with UMR. They are slow but I was approved on the first try.

Ok...so I should know something by the end of next week. I'm just so anXious and on a timeline. I appreciate you sharing this work me.
