Please remember that they will be checking for nicotine in your blood system. E cigs and nicorette products will show up just as if you smoked. Most doctors say" nicotine free". This may have your surgery denied.

Hi, seeing Dr Lara at Del Sol. Surgery in Dec

Please find a bariatric facility. They are usually have a umbrella / one bill billing technique, meaning one price covers everything from nutritional, psy,doctor and surgery. You usually have to start with attending a free seminar where they educate you about the different procedure. Then they will collect your insurance information and do all the calling etc and get the information for you concerning requirements and your portion of finances. ....look in your search engine bariatric centers with state location....Good luck. Let me know what happens.

I got approved Friday! ! Took less than 5 days. Maybe the Nurse was just trying to motivate me for my own good.. I would of posted sooner ,but trying to get use to this new formate for RNY talk is rough...Thank you all for your kind words and support.

Hi, we are in the same boat. My filial was Monday. Waiting game...sigh. but if we made through the 6mths month requirements we can make it through this. Where are you having surgery? Myself is Del Sol in El Paso Tx.

How long is typical insurance reply after paperwork is submitted.? I have BC\BS.

Hello group. Paperwork submitted yesterday. Finished 6 month supervised diet\exercise program. HW 290. SW 280 CW 260 48 yrs 5' 8". Hoping for Dec date by next week.

I did just recheck my policy and you are right. It just said supervised diet exercise program. Nothing about weight loss.

I have BC/BS and had 6 months. To do. However they have so many divisions and policies it can vary

Thank you all. Nerves a tad bit better. Will post as soon as I hear something. Clinic told me 7 to 10 days after paperwork is submited I should hear something. I guess everyone gets a little anxious around this point of the journey. Again thank you.

Lets hope so ,thank you all for the words if encouragement.

Sigh ....I feel like giving up.
