I completed all my pre-surgical testing, my 6 months of weigh ins, and after about a week and a few days after my last visit with my surgeon, someone from his office called with a scheduled surgery date. Am I missing something? Does that mean the insurance approved my surgery? I feel like I missed a step. Can someone help me figure this out?

My bariatric office wouldn't accept anyone in the program that tested positive for nicotine in the labs. One gal claimed to not even be a smoker, but her surgery was postponed 30 days when she tested positive for it. Strange.

@@Miss.Bunny447 Yeah, it probably doesn't mean you were approved just yet. It's just them putting you on the surgery schedule and anticipating that you will be. Good luck!

My problem is smoking

My coordinator scheduled my surgery date on the day that he submitted everything to my insurance. So I have my date (July 27) but no approval yet. Ci meet the criteria for my insurance so he assumes that I will have approval at some point before the date.
