Hello everyone. My name is julie and new to this forum. I have had all my dr visits and pre-op testing! I just have 1 more dietitian appointment on Feb 13th. After that its just awaiting insurance approval. About how long after the insurance approval comes through should I be expecting to have the surgery? Thxs.

I'm so excited.

I think everyones is a little different and depends on the insurance and place you have it done. In my case i had my preop and then they submitted the insurance and while waiting for the approval so far i have done my phych appt and nutrition apt. I'm currently waiting on approval but basically once they get it i get scheduled with the surgeon and within 4-7days i would have surgery.. so for me it's moving pretty quick. but it feels like the approval is taking forever.

My approval took about 2 1/2 weeks with UHC but it was over the holidays so it backed them up a bit, I heard it usually take 1-2 weeks in most cases.

I have UHC also and they said 3days to 2weeks it was submitted on the 16th.. so fingers crossed...
