since I decided to the the surgery the whole process has gone quite quickly, that is until this week. I have completed all the requirements and just waiting to here back from insurance. the nurse at my surgeon office said in her experience that it should only take a week and my insurance hasn't denied anyone since she done the submitting. yet I'm still so nervous. I can't stop thinking about getting that phone call!

All the waiting stinks, doesn't it? Let us know when you get approved

It's hard to wait. I am waiting on scheduler to call me. Thought that would be quicker. Nothing has been quick. Hang in there. Eyes on the prize

I am in the same boat. Mine was submitted to insurance last Wednesday. I was told 5-10 business days and today is day 5. I am get super anxious and am really holding back from calling my insurance company to ask if it has been approved yet.

the wait is nerve wrecking! I hope you get your approval soon! I'll let you know if I get mine!

the wait is nerve wrecking! I hope you get your approval soon! I'll let you know if I get mine!

It is very nerve wrecking I will keep you updated. Good Luck!

so I just got a phone call from my insurance company saying that my request for inpatient hospital services was approved. it was an automated service so I dnt know if that's my surgery or not. I dnt know if I should call my insurance company or should I call my surgeons office to figure out what that meant. I don't want to seem like I'm bugging them but I'm freaking out wanting to know lol

When I got my approval letters I got 2 separate ones, one was stating the approval for the gastric sleeve itself , the other was the approval letter for the impatient hospital stay! But u must have been approved , because what else would the hospital stay be for! Good luck! I hope your date is soon!

thank for the input, I just got another call saying the surgery was approved too! so it was two separate approvals. now just have to wait for the office to call with my surgery date!

Congrats!!! I also just received a call and I am approved!!!!

awesome! I'm so happy for ya!
