I got my approval from my insurance company today I am so excited! My next step is to make an appointment for a consultation with my surgeon.

How long did it take to find out

Congratulations that's so exciting!

How long did it take to find out

I filled out my paperwork with the hospital on February 10 and I did my psych evaluation, got my letter from my PCP, and saw a therapist one time, saw a psychiatrist one time, who released me stating that I was ready for the surgery. All of this happened exactly in one month. When I go for my consultation I will get set up for pre-op testing and get my surgery date so it should be within the next month or so I believe that I will be having surgery. I have Medicare and a BMI of 79 so it is pretty easy with Medicare to get the surgery apparently. I am excited and scared and this is all happening so fast but I have wanted it for years and I know I need it so that I can live my life and be happy again.

Got my consult set up 4/4

What kind of Medicare do you have? Straight Medicare or Supplement? I'm waiting on approval and I have Medicare Advantage.

I have just regular Medicare because I'm on Ssdi

I have a supplement called Medicare Advantage through United Healthcare. They ended up approving me in less than a week.
