So I submitted to insurance on Friday to remove band and revise to sleeve. Its only Monday and I keep checking my phone and email. This is gonna be a loooooong wait! Lol.

I've made the personal choice to only confide in my husband and my best friend who do not have weight issues. So you're my support while I go coo coo playing the waiting game!

Peace & Love - Nicnac

I am in the same boat, submitted last thurs have a 14 day wait from he**, and with the holiday it might be longer, so I figure I will glue my phone to my face and proceed to try to have some fun this weekend!!!!

Good luck to you both! Try to enjoy yourselves over the holiday. The answer will come...

I'm waiting with you too! My paperwork was submitted to the insurance today. Good luck to you.

Thanks everyone! Good luck to you all too.

Curious if anyone has heard back about their insurance yet? I found out my paperwork hasent even been submitted yet. =/

Same happened to me. They were supposed to submit on the 1st I checked with my insurance the 5th nothing... Called again Monday... Nothing... They finally sent it in the 9th and now I wait...

Mine was submitted on the 2nd but when I called the insurance company on the 9th, they said they haven't received anything. Called the doctor's and they resubmitted again. I called on the 10th to make sure they got it. (Which they did). The insurance rep said they sent a message back to the doctor's office stating they were missing my EGD and gall bladder US. So now I'm waiting on that to be sent. This process has been a test of my patience.

I've been waiting for three weeks now maybe I should call my insurance and see if they received the paper work.. Uhhhmmm

When I posted this question and said my paperwork wasn't even submitted yet I was a bit annoyed. I was told by my insurance they didn't have any request on file. So, yesterday (7/11) I emailed my patient advocate and asked for an update. No response. Today (7/12) they called to inform me the band removal to sleeve conversion was approved! I was not expecting that but I am so excited. All my pre-op tests are scheduled for next week. Wow.
