Submitted request for bypass today. Really hoping for a quick approval. I am having my surgery done at St Vincent bariatric center of excellence in Carmel, IN. Anyone else had/having surgery there?

So anxious!!

How could you tell it was submitted? I'm hoping my paperwork was sent in yesterday and now I'm just waiting. Not sure how long it takes for them to get it into the system and review for approval. I'm nervous. Scheduled for 1/18 in NC

Well I submitted it to the insurance specialist at my doctors office. So it should be sent in. I have anthem through the state insurance. Who do you have? Let me know when you hear something!
I don't have a date yet☹️ that's what I'm hoping for with approval!

Have you heard anything?

I am waiting to hear back about transferring there. Dr Diaz is who my friend recommended. I started at Community North but it's just not a good fit.

I just found out from my insurance company they have the authorization request. Now I'm just waiting. They told me to call back on Thursday but I'll probably call tomorrow evening I'm very anxious especially since I need to make arrangements for next week if everything goes as planned. I haven't told my work yet so I need to give them a heads up that I'll be out but don't want to tell them anything unless I get approval.

Found out insurance was submitted on Friday. Got approval today 1/9. Waiting for surgeons office to call for date and pre-op appt
