How long did it take your insurance company to approve you for a surgery date? I have completed all the necessary steps and it has all been submitted. Just haven’t heard anything yet on a surgery date and I am impatient!!

It took my surgeon’s office nearly a month to submit to insurance smh. About a week after they submitted my file I received a call to pay my copay for the surgeon’s fee to proceed with scheduling my surgery.

Once they received it, it took about 2 business days

I was told it would take around two weeks. It took exactly two weeks to the day to hear.

Mines took 1 day, I went online and checked my Insurance ID account and saw the approval letter the next day, before they mailed it.

8 day insurance approval, I would say you got a pretty good insurance there.

I was happy and surprised it was that quick.. although I was approved on the 9th, it is now the 29th and I have not recieved a surgery date from my Dr. office.... I have paid the Dr. Pre-pays, have spoken to the hospital regarding their pre-pays, but still no date. I was told to wait until the nurse calls me.... I'm trying to remain in good spirits knowing I did get approval from my insurance, but the wait is killing me. [emoji58]

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
