My insurance company called yesterday and said I was approved Wednesday so I called my doctors office and they said they haven't received it yet. How long does it normally take for them to receive the approval?

Depends on how they communicated originally but just keep following up with the Doctors office every couple days. Its usually pretty quick.

It usually takes 2 to 3 business days. Nonetheless...Congratulations on your approval! [emoji122]

I'm a little nervous, yet excited at the same time. It is a weird feeling of mixed anxiety. I am in no way regretting or dreading the surgery, just more like anticipation of the change to my life. I know it will be hard work, but I'm already practicing what it will be like after the surgery...by doing that I've managed to lose 24lbs going in. I'm determined to make this a permanent change!

Soon you will be eyeing your surgery date with the same feelings! So excited for you! I know how felt when I was seeking a surgery date after approval. Please let me know when you get your date!

Yeah,I'm more of let's get this over with since my last supervised diet date was Dec 10th my paperwork been was suppose to be submitted to my insurance because I had everything done. I was thinking it was submitted but oh no they called me Jan 7th to tell me it was submitted and to schedule my EGD for Jan 18th. I was like wow! When did you start your journey? Do you know someone that has had the surgery before?

Make them check while you’re on the phone . When I called after insurance confirmed I got approved they said they hadn’t received it yet. I was like can you double check and low and behold it was there .

She called me Sunday to schedule my pre consents appointment for Thursday. I was so shocked she called me on a Sunday. I received my approval letter in the mail Monday. Might’ve been in there since Saturday but I don’t check my mail everyday, lol

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
