I completely all of my pre-op insurance requirements today and the women at the doctors office said she was sending everything in around 330 today. Which means now we wait to hear back! Gosh the waiting may kill me- how's everyone else doing? Anyone in the same boat?

Also how long did it take you to hear back from the insurance company?

Hi ,

i heard back rather quickly , about a week! Then received my surgery date 3 weeks later.

Wow seems very quick! They told me 2-3 weeks but I think that's a standard time they tell people though.

I was approved in 5 days...definitely a surprise!

Congratulations on getting all of your requirements completed. The process is quite grueling, isn't it?! I also just got done with all the requirements as well and my precertification letter and chart were submitted today. They told me it should take about a week to hear back. Keep us updated on your result!!! Good luck to you!

That's awesome. I'm a little afraid I won't get approved my bmi only became over 40 within the past 3 months and my weight has just sky rocked over my 6 month supervised diet. I'm trying to keep my fingers crossed that they approve me.

Do you have a co-morbidity such as Diabetes, Hypertension, High Cholesterol, or Obstructive Sleep Apnea that needs treatment ? If so, you can have a BMI of 35 and it should still be covered.

I have pcos I'm not sure if that is one.

Mine was really quick. My stuff was sent to the insurance this past Monday and I got a call yesterday saying I was approved. My surgery date is 11/12. I'm so nervous but excited at the same time. Hope you hear something soon.

I called my insurance company today and they still haven't sent in the information so they told me to call them next week to check again. How irritating.

That is irritating. I would call and bug them maybe they would get on the ball then.

Yeah I'm going to call first thing Monday and ask about it.

How aggravating- I called the insurance company and they said the doctors office has no sent anything in. I called the doctors office and had it out with the women there because they were supposed to submit it last week so now the office manager is going to do it tomorrow. How lovely!

I have my first pre-op appt tomorrow, Pulmonologist. ☺️ 1000 more appointments to go. Lol!! I'm hoping to get everything done so I can get scheduled for November!!
