I've completed all my pre-op requirements the EGD, swallow study, psych consult and labs (minus all the weigh-ins...I still have 3 months To go so it will get done) but my question is when does the insurance approve it...when all the weigh-in have been completed or after all the pre-op requirements have been met? Any info would be appreciated!

Each insurance requires different things. Usually approvals comes after the monitored nutrition and weigh in period. That can range from 3 to 6 months from my research. I have Cigna and the insurance which required me to have 3 consecutive months of nutrition appointments and weigh ins along with the psych evaluation. I also had to do an endoscopy, ultrasound and sleep apenia test. Once I completed by 3 months my paperwork was filled for approval and I am currently waiting for Cigna to make a decision. Good luck in your journey!
