I began my journey on November 11, 2016 and quickly completed all my prerequisites. I had my consultation with my surgeon on Monday and sent in my paperwork to the insurance company Tuesday. I got a call Tuesday evening that I was approved and surgery was next week on the 18th!!!!! I'm so suprised how fast this is moving but I can't wait!

Congratulations! But with such a quick turnaround, you will have to work extra hard at the whole "changing your habits" part. Good luck with it!

Wow that's crazy fast. Congratulations

That is fast .are

you sure you are ready?

I had a fast one too, from my dr consult to surgery was barely two weeks. I'm now two weeks post op. Feeling pretty good, word of advice if you drink caffeine cut it now. The headaches are terrible from withdraws. Worse than the pain from the surgery

Hi Justme not sure if this was asked yet. How did it go with your final approval? I have Humana also and just curious how quick the process is. Seemed like it was moving along terrifically for you. Did you get a date? Thanks Ally in Florida and good luck.

Hi AllysonB during the whole progress I kept on top of my paperwork and made sure it was all completed. They require you to lose 5% of your body weight before they will schedule and I completed that before my consultation with my surgeon. They then submitted my paperwork the day after that consultaction and my insurance approved it the next morning. They knew I wanted to have my surgery before March but told me it would be in February. They called the day it was approved and scheduled me for January 18th! Drove into the city yesterday for all of my preoperative testing and am all ready for next week! I have Blue Cross Blue Shield MA and they said they usually have a fast turnaround.

I don't know if it is me or this app but I never see the where to respond to people.. saw this just now so I apologize for the delay response. You must have had your surgery by now so how are you doing? I have my psych and nutritionist appointment next week. Hope you're well.
