My surgeon called me. My paperwork was submitted on a Friday and the surgeon's office called me the following Monday. It was completely painless.

I got papers from my insurance company in the mail saying that everything had been approved. Then my surgeons office called to set up the actual date if the procedure.

My surgeon's office emailed me to tell me I was approved then called me the next day to schedule a date. I think I received a letter from the insurance company in the mail a week later.

The surgeon submitted everything on Friday morning. By Friday evening, my insurance had emailed me my approval letter. I was shocked that it happened so quickly.

My bariatric center contacted me, and about a week later I got the paperwork from my insurance company.

Phone call the day after my pre op surgeon appt. Surgery was the next week.

My patient advocate called me. She was shocked I had gotten approved. She said I required 6 months of supervised diets, despite my history of years of medical weight loss clinics on and off. I pushed her to put my paperwork through any way, and voila! Two days later she called me and said I was approved! I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow! From my first visit to surgery it's been two months.
