Took me about 6 weeks to get approval. I started the process and august of 2011 and was sleeved on November 9th 2011. I had 2 insurance plans , one was my mine through work and my other was through my mother. My work insurance has a WLS as an exclusion so the denial was within days. After my primary insurance was denied it was submitted to my mothers insurance, which they approved the surgery. i knew my insurance was going to deny the claim ,but before it could be submitted to my secondary insurance it has to go through the primary first. My mothers insurance is BCBS FEP
