Hey guys just wanted to update things. So last time i posted i was barely beginning the insurance process...Well sort of still am. I had my new patient consultation, met with my dietician, and just today had my psych evaluation. It went easier than expected! I just tried to be honest and it was more of a conversation than a test. The whole thing lasted about 35 min. The main thing they would hold off on surgery for is if you have an untreated mental health disorder or if you binge eat..... Which lets face it if youre obese that has probably happened a few times...But we all know thats not who we are! Lol Now im continuing on my journey with 5 more nutrition classes left as well as pre surgery testing. What were u guys experiences with the evaluation and how fast did your insurance approval process seem to take? ?

Insurance company timelines are all over the place when it comes to approvals. I think the normal length seems to be 2-4 weeks after submitting. After about 2 week I probably would call insurance directly to check but that’s because I’m impatient ?
