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 :)

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 :)

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...

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
