Hi everyone, so I just got off the phone with the insurance representative at my doctors office and today was my last weight in, she is getting my paperwork to submit the approval request for my sleeve surgery as we speak!! She states I should know by Friday!!! I’m so nervous. This week is definitely going to feel sooooo long.

I'll be empathizing with you. Don't stay on pins and needles, hopefully the point will realized and let us know when you do, we want to celebrate with you!![emoji173]

Thank you!!! Well I’m losing sleep over this! I just want Friday to get here already

Good luck! My final weigh in will be on May 2. I have been told by my surgeon’s office that it should be approved with no issues .... but I will still hold my breath (a little) until I get my surgery date! Do you know if many get denied in general? My BMI is 41and I am under the impression that my insurance approves anyone with BMI 40and above with 6 non-consecutive monthly weigh ins.

I haven’t really read any forums with people getting denied, but my insurance said I should be fine not to worry. They also require a BMI of 40 but with 6 consecutive weigh-ins

Congrats! My final appointment was today and they are preparing everything to end off to insurance tomorrow! I have bcbs and I heard some people hear in 24 hours and some hear in a week or two. My BMI is just over 40 so hopefully it goes quick

Once approved, they schedule approx. 2 weeks out

I hope to get a date soon. I’m not sure if my surgeons’s office gives me a date at the same time paperwork is submitted or if I have to wait until approval to get a date ... I think I will call them tomorrow! So exciting to KNOW that you will get your surgery two weeks from tomorrow - I am jealous!

My surgeon’s office schedules the surgery after insurance approves

My process went so quick, that my surgeons assistant scheduled me out when she scheduled my final appointment. You should walk out of there with a date. Hold tight. You’re so close!!!!!

I was approved by insurance today!
