well I have done my 6 months of supervised diet. I have done all the labs, tests and so on. I had my last diet appointment on 6/18 and I am scheduled for my "final surgical consult" on 7/2. However, the doc informed me on 6/18 that they would be sending my information to the insurance company for approval following that appointment and it is possible that they could schedule my surgery at my 7/2 appointment if it has been approved.

I have priority health (HMO) and was curious if anyone had experience with them and how long it took for approval (or if other insurance, how long it took also). thanks everyone

@ : I have Priority Health and my doctor's office submitted everything June 5th (a Friday). I called Monday afternoon (June 8th) just to make sure they'd received everything, and the lady said: "Yes! We received it Friday afternoon and you were approved this morning!"

So, I'd say one business day is pretty darn quick! I hope yours goes just as smoothly.
