Congrats, I am June 6..its soo close

I have completed ALL of my requirements and have turned everything into the surgeons office. He says now they have to put a packet together to submit for insurance approval. How long does it take for them to submit? I know they have to put the best possible packet together for the highest chance of approval. However, I have very little faith in my surgeons office staff as they are pretty slow on EVERYTHING. What did others experience? I know I have to wait for insurance to approve, I just hope I don't have to wait a very long time for them to submit.

Finally approved!

no pre-op diet for me. So excited to finally have a date and start my count down

6/6/16 will be the date

How long typically from insurance approval to surgery? I was approved by insurance on 4/28/16 and am really hoping for a early to mid-May surgery. The doctor at our last appointment said that I wouldn't have to do a pre-op diet. The catch is I know I was approved because I have been following the submission so closely...however, the coordinator hasn't actually called to tell me that I have been approved. Oh and the coordinator is also the scheduler. So I have called last week to leave her a message and the doctor knew about my timeline back in February when I started. The Coordinator messed up the first submission and that delayed it all a week and now she isn't calling me back now that I have approval. So how long out was scheduling for this that have approval? Thanks

Surgery scheduled for 6/6/16.

still no surgery date...still no call from tje surgeons office to tell me Im approved...STILL WAITING Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

now to get scheduled.... Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

I was APPROVED!!!!! So excited. But I found out that the coordinator for my Dr. is also the scheduler and if anyone has read my posts she isn't the easiest to work with and not the nicest person. Wish me luck for a surgery date soon...
