Hi everyone! I'm new here! I just got the call from my primary doctor that they sent my letter of recommendation to the surgeon! I'm just waiting for the psych eval to be send and then the surgeon's office can submit to my insurance.

I'm so excited! I can't wait to finally take control of my life and weight loss!!!

Does anyone have any pre/post-op tips or advice??

I am in the same boat as you. I completed my echo today, blood work tomorrow, and then they will submit to the insurance company for approval. My insurance company does not require a diet so does anyone know how long the insurance approval process is?

Some really good tips here!

My insurance approved in 3 days. Some take 2 weeks or longer. Good luck!

I have UHC and I was approved in a week.
