I’m about to loose my mind over here waiting to see if I will be approved or denied. My biggest concern is that I will be denied for the 2yr weight history requirement. Since I didn’t have insurance in 2017 I have no documentation of my weight, only for 2018. My advocate suggested I write a letter explaining why I don’t have documented weights for that year and submit pictures, I sent 3 with a letter. Everything else should qualify me.

3 month diet
Psych eval
Upper GI
Sleep study
BMI 39.6 with High Blood Pressure

Talked to my advocate today and she said the coordinator will contact the insurance on Tuesday if they don’t hear anything before then. I have yet to talk to anyone at my insurance office trusting my surgeons to handle this. Do I call myself to check the status or just wait ?

I called my insurance. It was submitted and approved the same day. Personally I would call.

You can call and ask for the pre-authorization department. I called twice and found out a week before my doctors office e-mailed me.

Thank you ladies, I will definitely do that Monday.
