I’ve been lurking here for quite a while planning my gastric sleeve surgery. My surgeon’s office submitted me two weeks ago for insurance approval and today I got approved. Yay! ... but, in the past week, I’ve had an unexpected and unrelated medical issue that I’m being told may delay surgery for up to 6 months.
Now I’m confused. I don’t know if insurance approval comes with an expiration, if I’ll have to start the whole process over, or what. I have a call in to my insurance coordinator but wondering if anyone else has seen or heard of a situation like this?
if I have to do the 6 month program over again that will be very frustrating, as my BMI hovers just over the 40 mark and I have No comorbidities, so I basically have to diet for 6 months without losing more than 7 pounds...
Any insights appreciated!
