@@jane13, my nerves got the best of me and I called daily and found out this morning the procedure was approved so now I am waiting for my surgeons office to review my chart and schedule a date Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@jane13, thanks for the advice. I am going to try to wait until Thursday/Friday to call. I mean at this point it is just a waiting game and there is no point getting too stressed out... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgeon sent the documentation this past Friday. I called my insurance company (Highmark BCBS) today and they said it shows in the system as "pending." I am so anxious to get an answer. How did you all deal with this waiting period? I am tempted to call twice a day, once at noon and again at 5pm... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Same to you. Also, there is a robust forum on Thinnertimes of people who have got their procedure at NMH Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am planning to get surgery at Northwestern Memorial. It is a very structured program and can seem daunting at first. My insurance requires a 6 month diet and I finish the last appointment on May 12th. I think once you start you appointments it seems to progress pretty fast. Once you are done with the evals, you will start the Nutrition group classes. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey All, I have my last dietician appointment this Thursday. Then they will submit to insurance, so it looks like I will have a June/July date. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
