Has anyone had experience dealing with Tufts for gastric bypass and how tough is it to get approved?

Hi there! So..I started seeing the surgeon back in June. I am 23 years old, and have a BMI of 36. I am on medication for high cholesterol and GERD. I have tufts. I was extremely nervous about being approved because I heard they make you do a 6 month I can change diet program before surgery. This is no longer the case. They just want it proven that it's medically necessary for you to have the surgery. They submitted my paperwork to Tufts this past Tuesday. I called Wednesday just to check and make sure they received it and they said yes..you're approved for gastric bypass. It took ONE day! I am over the moon excited. I'm speaking to the office tomorrow to book my date..most likely October. Attend all your appointments!! Good luck!
