So, today is finally my last doctor visit of my six months of required visits. We thought last month was, but the bariatric center said they don't include my visit with the surgeon. So I called them today to make sure they have everything they need to send to the insurance company. I hope a decision is made quick so I'm not waiting forever! I did also finally decide on the Bypass vs the Sleeve.

I hope you get your approval fast. [emoji3]

Thanks!!! Me too!

I just finished my last requirement on Monday and am now waiting for my approval as well! I am also doing the Bypass. Hope you get good news soon!

What made you want the bypass is the sleeve ? Just wondering

I decided that since the bypass has been around longer, and many people go from sleeve to bypass that I would go right to it. My insurance is a one time thing, so if I had sleeve, then later wanted to have the bypass it'd be out of my pocket. I decided to just go right to the top step.

I know the struggle! I'm trying to make myself wait until Friday to call. [emoji39]

I ended up calling my insurance company just to ask if they needed anything else LOL. They said the nurse started reviewing all the info on Friday and once they make a decision they'll fax my surgeon office and mail me a letter.... okay... hurry up already lol

Haha! I don't blame you for being impatient. Hopefully they will review it very quickly!

I just called my surgeon's office today because my file was completed on Friday... Just to check if they had everything She said that she is putting it in today or tomorrow at the latest. I should hear back from her within a week. It's going to be a super long week!
