I have been thinking about this for a while ( and trolling this site, quitely gaining information) and I started my process on august 3rd. I had my orientation on august 3rd, consult on august 10th, nutritionist on august 26th and psych evalulation on sept 3. My team thought that I needed a 6 month medically supervised diet but I told them I spoke with my insurance several times and they said no. So I had to really advocate for myself and make them submit to my insurance. Well she called me the same day and said that I was approved YAAAAAAAAAAY. Needless to say she said that she had never seen a insurance approve so fast. FYI my insurance is Humana. I am just really excited about this and nervous but grateful for the chance to make some MUCH NEEDED changes. This is something that I have being praying for and im so thankful to God.

So now im just waiting for them to call so I can schedule and get my date. Just wanted to share my story and wish everyone good luck no matter where you are in your journey. Blessing to all

Thats awesome news!!!!

That's great news! Hope you hear about a surgery date just as quickly!

Thank you and me too

I also got approved immediately. That was good news and bad news. The good news is no waiting. The bad news is no time for a food funeral! Congrats!!!

Right lol but thanks, it feels good @ radar

good luck!!

my approval was pretty fast too. From my consult to the day of my surgery was only about 2 months

Congrats! My approval took 3 days.

Mine approved in 2 1/2 hrs. I have BCBS of Ky thru my husbands employer. Was totally surprised it was so quick

Congrats to everyone .......im excited about this journey ????????

Congrats!! Where are you located? I hating to fight tooth and nail, to get approved.

I meant to say that I've been fighting tooth and nail, trying to get Humana to work with me.

I'm in Milwaukee Wisconsin and I have Humana through my job at children's hospital

I have an Individual plan, through the Health Market. I know that you are happy that you were approved. Blessings to you!

Congrats!
