It took like 2 1/2 week to get approved. I'm 5"4 weighing in at 230. BMI 39.

It took awhile to get approved from my insurance company. I was told by them that the holidays were the reason for it taking so long. Keep your head up and stay positive! You've got this!

Did anyone NOT tell their job about surgery?
melva66 replied to VGB's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I told my job about my surgery. Best thing i did. Turned out there were 4 people I work with that had it don't as well as two people getting it done. I've gotten a lot of great tips on the what,why and when lol. -
I'm really hoping to get approved the first time around. I had to switch insurance so their requirements are alittle different. I'm at a 39 BMI and they want 40 and above. I go for my last weigh in one Thursday.

How many denials did you get? I'm afraid of being denied. I have no clue what the process is after the first denial.

This is awesome! Thank you! -
I'm trying my hardest to quit. Much easier said then done. I've told my dr I quit months ago and haven't been asked about it since. Anyone have any ideas as to what might help or has anyone continued smoking right up to the surgery? Once I'm all done with the surgery (if I'm approved by my insurance) I plan not ever looking back. It's just very hard right now.

Thank you everyone for the advice! I will take all that I can get. It's such a struggle
