I called right before insurance closed on Friday I called and found out I'd been approved. How long after did you get scheduled for surgery? Anyone from Texas using/used Dr. Kim bariatric institute?

I ended up getting gastric sleeve and due to reflux less than 6 months later I was revised to gastric bypass. I went with Dr. Nick Nicholson at Nicholson Clinic. Highly recommend him. He’s an amazing surgeon. @dennise68 mine was all about my insurance requirements. I had BMI of 40 and I had high cholesterol as well. I’d call insurance and find out if it’s covered and what are the requirements for approval.

Congratulations! I'm ready to start the liquid diet. I'll know I'm that much closer to a new me.

Congratulations! Thank you for your response! When did they contact you to schedule surgery once approved?

I finished all the requirements and they submitted it for approval late Tuesday afternoon. I called insurance yesterday and they have received it. One person said I can call Monday and they'd know something. Another one said call Thursday and they'd have an answer. I have BCBSTX PPO so I wonder which one it'll really take. Anyone else have any experience with this insurance?
