What insurance company do you have? Maybe get a letter from all of your doctor's supporting surgery. I am waiting on insurance approval also. Good luck and I wish you the best

Wow, that is a long time to be waiting. Have you asked them why so long?

I literally got my answer in less than 4 hours from submission.

6 months is what they want I will be so upset if they don't approve it after all of this.

I have united healthcare, and have been going since April. My 6 months was just up on October 5th. That's normal... you have a while to go.

Hi there! Have you gotten your surgery date? Or surgery yet? I'm in the same boat as you and I'm in GA as well. I'm going through BCBS of Michigan and my Doctor is Dr. Macik at Northside Bariatric Center. What about you?
