You mean the entire process?
You didn't have to do a six month waiting period?
Or do you mean 30 days from submission of paperwork until approval?

I did alot of my own apts and getting med records and getting them faxed to my surgeon. I had about 9 apts or more in 3 weeks. I was determined!!!

I have a mandatory six month waiting period.
Have to do weigh ins and office visits and all kinds of stuff.
I just don't understand why some people have no requirement and others have to jump through several hoops.
I am of course, not mad at you by any means.
I am just mad at the process.

I do think all ins should have same guidelines. I was onky requires 2 dietary visits. I had done monitored dieting and such through my dr over the last 2 years before this option crossed my mind. I am sorry you havw to wait so long but it will be worth it. I dont think mentally im 100% ready but I will not let myself fail.

That is crazy how insurances are different i had my first class last may and just got my surgery april 3rd. Im not complaining just glad i finally got it done

Ah, they may have been able to use your documented weight loss attempts with your primary doctor.
Maybe that's why you were approved so quickly?
At any rate, I am happy for you.
I just have to be patient until August.

Congrats!
