Ins. Covered LBT'ers: approx. how long from seminar date to acutal surgery

[gochevy3 0]

I used united healthcare. From my first seminar to surgery was 6 weeks. But thats deceptive. I actually started getting the testing done about 3.5 weeks before surgery. so actually the wait was really only about 4 weeks total. I got aproval for the procedure in a few days, which I understand is unusually fast.

I have Horizon BC/BS (I always thought the BS part of the name was ironic, LOL) Anyway, my surgeon sent in all the insurance stuff the first week in July and got the approval the end of July and my surgery is scheduled for August 15th. I thought that was pretty quick. It took a while for me to compile the letters for the insurance company from the phych, med dr., nutritionist, etc.
