Typically how long after everything is submitted to insurance by the surgeons office are you approved? All they are waiting on is my sleep clearance letter, clearance letter from my family physician. My last dr appointment will be the week of February 15 so this will complete my 7 months weight monitoring required by insurance.

I was approved within days with BCBS Empire (NY Government plan)

Hey there. I also have empire BCBS. I noticed you said that you had to do seven months of weigh in. How come not six?

I can't remember exactly, but I believe it just depends on your plan. Some only have to do 3 months.

Finally I have my last appointment today and then everything can be submitted to insurance ???? it's been a long 7 months, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just hope insurance gives an answer quickly.
