Has anyone ever got approved within 2-3 months?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone got their sleeve from meeting the doctor to surgery? With the insurance and pre op requirements?

It all depends on what your insurance requirements are. They are oftentimes vastly different.

Took about 6 weeks for me only because I had a couple of bumps in the road. Lots of extra presurgery procedures.

When I had my band done in 2012 my first appointment was in May and I was approved in late June but my surgeon couldn't schedule the surgery until August.

When I had my sleeve revision we decided the very end of April, insurance approved mid-May and I had surgery June 1st.

First appt mid may. Approval late june. Surgery July 15th.

It would have been faster but people were on vacations.

My insurance did not make me do anything. That made the difference.

My insurance requires 3 nutritional visits 30 days apart plus extra things as well, but the nut visits hold up the longest. My first nut appt was beginning of April and I had surgery June 29th

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
