I posted a similar thread about 6 months ago when I started my six month process, but now that I'm at the end and waiting to hear from the Insurance company about approval, I thought I'd ask again because no one really knew then ... Has anyone had HIP Plus through MD Wise and gotten approved? What can you tell me about the process?

I've done the six month diet, submitted my five year medical records showing my weights, and my food journal, and had lab work (TSH, HgbA1C, drug test).

Did you ever get approved?

Yes I did! I got approved the first time with no issues. Had my surgery October 17th and am feeling great!

That is awesome!! How long did your approval take?

It took me 3 weeks, but I think it actually only took 2 weeks. The doctor's office didn't send my things in for a week because the office girl went on vacation. I was so nervous the whole time!
