Hello. Just wondering how long it took for folks to be approved once everything was submitted to the insurance companies.

And then, how long was it before your surgery date?

Thanks!!

Was during Christmas time, however.

I was asked to give it two weeks after submission but at eight or nine days I caved and called snd it was approved. I went to my surgeons seminar on Feb 28th and had surgery April 29th BUT I already had my 6 months supervised diet done so that helped. Good Luck!

I was lucky. Less than one day for approval.

Hi, I havn't had mine sent in yet- but my doctors office said it could take 1-20 days for insurance to approve- and then my doctor is 3-4 weeks out after they get the approval.
