Im not sure about your personal insurance. Ive seen some in a day and some take a month.
My paperwork got submitted to insurance today, so im just as anxious as you are. The secretary told me about 2 or 3 weeks.



I know believe me, i feel the same. Today was my fianl of 6 momths of appts and surgeon said well get it submitted to insurance today. He said hed get it back im a few days, but his secretary told me 2 to 3 weeks. She said he doesnt deal woth insurances and mIne usually takes a few weeks. I was hoping she just told me that so im not calling her all the time checking, lol. The good thing is once we get approval my surgeon can usually get me scheduled in less than 2 weeks he said. Im just ready to start this new journey :)



Good to know im not the only one super anxious. How long was your program, when did you start the process?



After a week I started calling! If they have everything they need it shouldn't take a month. They have up until a month to process. I called on my own and found out before my surgeon called to set up the surgery date lol [emoji23] talk about antsy! [emoji16]


Well i called my insurance company today to confirm they received everything. She told me they had and it was pending review. She said they have 14 days to make a decision and also told me my surgeon put a tentative surgery date of 3/24 on my paperwork. Feeling hopeful, it will be this month :)



My approval came back in 12 days


Mine came in 3 days I couldn't believe it!



I am just beginning this process. Does anyone know if having done a year long Dr supervised diet program 2 years ago will work as the 6 month prerequisite?

I meet with my Dr Monday and am just sick worrying I might have to do the 6 month diet...
