Friday I finished my requirements and was submitted for insurance... now I wait. I am hoping for an answer sometime this week. How long has everyone waited for their insurance answer??

I wish I a time period for you, but I'm in the same position. I have my last appt. on Tuesday and I will get my surgery date and all the paperwork will be submitted to the insurance co. I will be interesting to see the what everyone has to say.

It all depends on who you are insured through

I had my last appointment Sept. 18th and was approved by insurance and got my surgery date (Dec. 5th) on Oct. 5th. I think it took longer than 2 weeks because the lady at the hospital who handles submitting claims forgot to send mine. Otherwise I think I would’ve heard back within a week.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
