Ok, my surgery is suppose to be 01/18.... I already buy some of the things that I will need for my new life!

But, today I send an email to the surgery coordinator and she said that today she started working on the patients of 01/08, she hasn’t even start with my case!!! And I already have the day for my surgery!!!!!

That means they can denie my surgery....

Am worry, my BMI is 44.

You guys think that insurance can denie my case????

Am so nervous.....

If your insurance denies you, I think the insurance coordinator at the doctor’s office will submit an appeal to get you approved. From what I have read from other people’s posts, this is common. Don’t worry. You will get through this!

I doubt you will get denied but I was in the same boat you're in. I didn't want to spend money buying stuff if I was going to get denied. I just got my approval letter in the mail on Saturday and didn't read it until SUNDAY. I'm supposed to have surgery on MONDAY December 18th and I've bought nothing because I wasn't sure I would be approved (My BMI was exactly 35 and since my pre-op diet I am a BMI of 33) so I figured I might get declined. I say go ahead and buy everything and get prepared because now I'm scrambling to buy two weeks worth of stuff in a few days.

I am so excited to have this done... if the insurance denies me I will be crying for a week!!!!

What I don’t understand is... why they give me a day when the haven’t send my case !!!!

You will be fine...trust me. I thought I would get denied but now that I have approval I'm scared as s*.......

They did the SAME THING TO ME! I had my surgery date 2 months before I got approved. I started this process in September. They did that because they KNOW you'll get approved! What is your insurance? I have BC/BS and they approve everybody! LOL.
