The way my doctors office is billing my procedure is with an out of network facility and in network surgeon. It ends up costing me less that way. My paperwork was sent to insurance on Friday the 13th (hope that's not a sign) and I called yesterday to confirm that had received it and they had. They said they received it yesterday the 16th and that it usually takes 15 days to render a decision. I got an email this afternoon from my insurance stating that my company has made some changes to our medical plan. One of the changes being that bariatric surgery can only take place at an in network center of excellence starting April 1. Doc office wants to schedule me for a March surgery, but I'm just worried that something is going to happen that would push me into April :-/ Sorry so long. Just venting.

Have no idea how this posted twice. Is there a way to delete one of them?

Following, I'm curious as well. I just had a baby in June 2014 and should be getting the sleeve in March. I plan to wait 18 months (Doc recommendation) and then get pregnant again.

This process has been very quick for me so far! First appointment with True Results: February 11th True Results submitted info to Insurance: February 13th Called to confirm they received case: February 17th (confirmed) Now just waiting for an approval! I'm being told I shouldn't have an issue getting approved and that I should hear back in about 15 days, and I should expect a March surgery date! Eek!

Let us know how it all went! Congrats!

That's awesome!!! I sent you a message with a question! Right now you're going to be my best friend!

So good to find someone else who has had Dr. Smith! and I'm so glad you had a good experience. My surgery will be done at Baylor Surgicare in Richardson. I'm going crazy waiting for this approval. I'm a very impatient person!! How much have you lost so far?

I haven't gotten approval but am told I will prob have a March date!

Hey everyone! I'm Ashley and I'm 29 (30 in November 2015) I'm hoping to have the surgery in mid March. I live in irving and and Dr. Adam Smith will be doing my surgery if I'm approved. My paperwork was sent off of Friday, the 13th (hope that's not a sign). She said I have awesome insurance though and I should have no problem being approved. Just a waiting game now. So excited though!
