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??

Have you called you insurance company to see what the hold up is??

Sorry to jump in, but while reading this I wanted to ask, so you have to do all the visits and consultations before you are approved by insurance? I've worked with insurances and you think I would know this, but I haven't had my first appointment yet. It is today, I just figured they started the approval process in the beginning.

Insurance was submitted on Oct 25 and approved nov 8..Now waiting for dr to give me a date

I did, they said they have not receive anything from the doctor. But that was couple of days ago.
So I’m waiting to call my coordinator .. I don’t wanna be one of the lucky one to be forgotten on a pile of papers.

You have to do all the requirements than your surgeon will send it to your insurance for approval.

I got APPROVED & date December 19th! I’m so excited !

Depends on what insurance you have and which type of bariatric surgery you choose. I have friend where the only thing he had to do was lose some weight in 3 months, no other visits with specialist.
