When I called they said it has been approved and that I should receive the letter in 7 to 10 business days. They said I can go ahead and schedule my surgery without the approval letter because the doctors office can just call and verify the approval. I immediately called and spoke to the surgical coordinator and she gave me a date. My surgery was on December 8th Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Mine took about 6 days. I called daily to ask on the status. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App
