Good luck!!!! My surgery is on March 10th and I will be having it all done at once. I am pretty nervous but excited as well.

Let us know how you are doing since you just had your band removed!

Congrats!!

How long did approval take? My last appointment was February 3rd I'm anxiously waiting to hear. I think if I don't hear by Friday I'm going to call. If I get denied though I'm going to be devastated.

Hi Jess! Are you positive the paperwork was submitted? Mine was submitted on a Friday and a week later I was approved for the lap band removal and a few days after that, I was approved for the sleeve. I'd first call your surgeons office & see when/if they submitted your paperwork. If it's been a week, I'd call your insurance co. Good luck! [emoji177]

I'm not 100%, but I figure since my last appointment was on a Friday, and they are not there on Monday, I'm hoping it was submitted on the Tuesday. So it should hopefully been just over a week

I just got advised today my surgery was approved also. Band to sleeve! I don't have my date yet but it took about 30 days to get approval
