Hey Guys, I am new to the message boards and can really use some guidance. My surgeon's office just submitted my request for VSG surgery to my insurance company (State insurance). How long does it usually take to know if you were approved? I am so nervous and I can't stop thinking about it. I keep running scenario's through my mind about what I should do if I don't get approved. Can you re-submit? I have done everything I was asked to do, and I have been cleared by all the specialist, so I think I have a good chance. What do you guys think? Thank you guys for your help and I am sure I will have a lot more questions.

Can not imagine you not being approved, if you have a rep or advocate maybe you could ask them how long to get started? Otherwise, you may just have to be patient and let that ball start rolling. In the mean time read what you can on this sight and learn. Best to you

Thanks I really hope that's the case!!!!

I got my approval!!! Thank god it didn't take the full week, I was freaking out. My surgery date is June 1st. I am so excited!!!!!!!
