So I've done all my pre op appts other than the egd. I am however still waiting on my obgyn appt to see if I have PCOS. I should find out if I have PCOS the day of my egd. I have the ultrasound in the morning then egd in the afternoon (13th). How long after you finished all your pre op appts did they submit to insurance? In just really anxious to get things set so I have a date. The waiting is killing me and it's only been like 12 days since my consultation with my surgeon.

It all depends on your provider and your insurance company. I started this journey at the beginning of June and just got my approval letter today!! I have BCBS and I had all of my appointments (except for meeting with my surgeon and a 4-hour nutrition class) done in early August. I was told I was penciled in for December 4 about a month ago and I was really sweating it. I had no idea it would take 6 months from start to finish, lol! I hope your process is much quicker. I know how hard the waiting is.

Hi Everyone: I am new here. I have Aetna.. I have done all the required tests and nutritionists visits and everything was to be submitted Friday. Any idea how quick this will be approved ? Thanks !

I have Aetna as well and it took two weeks to the day to get my approval. Not bad but it felt like forever!!

Thanks !

I just started the process. I have PCOS, is that going to affect anything?

If your bmi is btwn 35 and 40 having PCOS will qualify you through insurance. If you are 40+ bmi it doesn't matter because you qualify anyways

Ohhhh. Okay. thank you!

I'm hopefully submitting to insurance this Friday. I have Cigna, does anyone know turnaround time for them? And also does it help to call them every couple days to see if my claim has been approved?

*new here

how do you like it on here so far? Do you have a surgery date yet?
