I have United Healthcare. All the plans are so different so its hard to say how quick it will take. Doctor's office told me 15 business days, but I called insurance company and asked them directly how long the pre approval process takes. Rep. told me 2-15 days but it ended up being only 3 days. Good luck!!

Congratulations, I just got approved too, I'm nervous exited and scared.

Aggravated today, insurance has already approved but doctor hasn't received anything. Upon receipt of APPROVAL, doctor has to reverify insurance. I don't understand why they have to reverify when they just got approval, makes no sense to me. Why would insurance send approval if I'm not covered? I am trying to be calm and not frustrated but its not easy!

Did they give you any more info on this? Who's your doctor? I'm going through Louisiana Surgical Specialists and using Dr. Moore.

No they didn't. I magically received an email about 20 minutes after calling that they received the approval. It's not the doctor, its his office staff. I love the doctor but his office staff is terrible! My doctor is in Houston.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
