My last nutrition class was April 10th and they called April 15th to tell me that they sent all of my paperwork to insurance. On April 27th I get a letter from insurance stating that they need my sleep study report and two different dates

I was told they sent it when they didn't. I had to go get the report myself last Thursday and send it to my surgeons office and I call Monday and insurance still doesn't have it. I only call 1-2 times a week but I'm worried that I'm driving them crazy. I wish they would hurry up because I want this band out of me and really want the bypass. My lower back has started hurting so bad again and the acid reflux has come to join the party. ????

Don't feel that way! They're not in your body and truly cannot feel what your going thru! I was on my surgeons office the whole way thru well. Even though they give a specific time line of what happens and when. I feel better when I am in control. There is no excuse that your insurance company has yet to receive all documents needed in order to authorize your switch to bypass. CALL THEM AGAIN! You should not suffer. Don't forget, you don't work for them, THEY WORK FOR YOU!

@@KalelsWifey Thank you so much! That makes me feel so much better. It wasn't like this when they did my lapband. I just don't understand why they're taking so long.

I wish I were more persistent. I felt bad too. I found thd more I called the more foliar they became with me. When I had my 1 week checkup, they all hugged me and the compliments were so awesome. It felt good.

My insurance company finally got my sleep study report and told me to check back next week for status on approval. Finally! ????

Thinking about you, prayers for your approval!

Your prayers worked because they called today and told me that insurance approved it. I have my surgical consult, pre-op, and prep class 6/15 and should have my surgery 6/30. My birthday is 6/23 so this is going to be the best birthday present ever.

Aweee @@Kaye21 I'm so excited for you!!! I felt the same way, I've wanted this for so long and to do it right before my b'day was so exciting. My b'day is 6/11 and my sisters wedding is 6/13. My surgery was 4/22 so I am stoked to show my 35 lbs as of now loss. Maybe even a couple more by the wedding. keep me posted on your journey. I'll friend you once I log on from my laptop. X's congratulations!!

Yay Kay. We also share the same birthday. June 23rd. What a great day.

I just got the bill for my surgery....they will gladly answer every question if insurance wasn't involved. #HealthCareRocks
