I have United and just had paperwork submitted a few days ago and was wondering how long it took others to get approval. I am so excited and nervous at the same time and find myself being a little impatient

Still waiting on insurance approval

250 lbs

Only took 1 1/2 weeks for approval. I have Anthem bc/bs. Hope you get your good news soon!

I have United Healthcare and it took less than two weeks to get a reply after all requested docs (from UH) were received.

How was the surgery? How are you feeling? Any input on what to take to the hospital? Any pain?

I Was Denied By Insurance Company, So I Self Paid...but I Do Wish You Luck...and I Hope You Are Approved Really Fast...

Surgery was surprisingly not bad. On a scale fo 1 to 10 my pain was a about 3. I wore loose clothes and no jewlery of any sort to the hospital. I was only in recovery 2 hours after surgery and then was sent home. Yesterday (4 days post op) was my worst (and only bad) day so far. I had dry heaves and gas pains from the surgery. I used Gas-X and a heating pad to help releive the gas pain. This morning I feel like a new woman ... hoping the gas pains are finally gone for good.
