After what seems like a million years I finally got my approval!!! I am ecstatic and overjoyed! Now that it is really happening I can’t lie I am kind of nervous because I never had a surgery besides a c-section almost 20 years ago lol I am waiting to speak with the nurse so I can pick a date but I know it will be sometime in February omg!!!! Any helpful tips and tricks will be highly appreciated!

You’re right I feel like I have been research and reading for the last year. I could probably do the damn surgery myself lol but seriously thank you for the advice. -

Thank you so much that is wonderful advice and I will take heed! So my official surgery date is March 17th and I start pre-op March 2nd. She said when I go in to sign my consent forms I will also have my pre admin testing done, I’m like god more testing lol but she said it’s just a urine and chest xray abs updated lab work. I’m not sure what she meant by updated lab work though. Is that more blood being drawn? -
So....I got approved!!!!

I have no patience lol I think I harassed my insurance company into an approval lol but seriously patience is key and you’ll get a call before you know it! -
So my insurance company told me my doctor submitted a surgery date of 1/11 until 1/13 because I will be impatient pending I get my authorization. However when I had my last meeting with my surgeon she said my surgery would be in February. Is it possible they moved up the date? Has this happened to anyone before?
-
Yup I followed up with my doctor and that’s exactly what they did. Thank you!

Got my surgery date. Any January bypass surgeries??

Hi congrats! You said you had short notice , you didn’t have to do the two weeks preop diet? -
Hi I just need a little advice or something . I called my insurance company BCBSNJ to make sure they received my paperwork for authorization for wls and to see if there was an answer yet. First the guy said I had been approved for the procedure on 1/11 then at the end of the call he was like so it is still pending. I was like wait I thought you said it was approved so what procedure am I getting on 1/11? He said the wls so I was like then I should be approved pretty quickly right ? And he agreed. Now I am not sure what’s going on, am I approved or is it still pending and why would he give me a date of 1/11? I tried calling the doctor but had to leave a message. Please help me understand...

So I actually got a better answer from the insurance company. They said my auth is still pending and it will be processed after the new year. I also asked about the date I was told of 1/11 and she said that is the date that was provided by my surgeon. She said the date shows 1/11 to 1/13 because it is a inpatient procedure. So they will definitely process my auth probably by early next week. The only thing I am still a little confused about is my surgeon originally said I would have the surgery in February. So I am thinking if they just told the insurance that date to get it approved faster? Any insight?

Hello I’m at the last leg of my program and everything has been submitted and I am now waiting on an approval. The hospital submitted my paperwork last Tuesday and I’m just wondering how long should I wait to get an answer. Me being impatient I called the insurance company yesterday just to confirm my paperwork got submitted and it did. First the guy said I was approved and I have a date of 1/11 then at the end of the call he said it’s still pending. I was like wait you just said it was approved. So now I am confused. I really hope I get an approval soon.
-
Thank you so much that is really helpful! I am getting frustrated because I am getting different answers. First I was told it was approved, then I was told it’s still pending, now I am being told they don’t even see my paperwork. I am beyond annoyed.
-
Got it thanks I hope I hear something soon
-
What do you mean 2 week increments?
-
That’s what I thought. I think he meant I’ll hear something by the 11th. Idk I just want a date.

You’re so right about that! And 30lbs is a great loss!
