I got my approval! I'm super excited! After so many months of waiting and jumping through hoops and cutting through the red tape I've finally gotten my approval. My scheduled surgery date is the 18th of this month. Thirteen days! I can't wait!

Congrats ! I am seeing the doctor for the first time 12/12/12. How long did it take to be approved by the insurance? What were your requirements?

Congrats!!!! Who is your insurance through!? How long did it take? What were some of your hoops?

[Trinity31188 26]

Well, my insurance is blue cross blue shield. My requirements were 3 months on a dietitian monitored diet, 2 years (min.) weight history, Post-op preparation classes, and a bmi of 35 or higher. That would have been ok... But i started out in march with Dr. David Kim... I do not recommend anyone to his office. #Hurley911 - Some of the red tape/hoops I had to go through were nicotine and alcohol screening and things like that. The other problem I had was that after doing all the requirements for not only my insurance but my doctor... They stopped contacting me and i was forced to change surgeons. It has been a very long journey but it will be worth it when I finally get sleeved.

^{Congratulations to everyone that got approved!!!!!!!! I know that I have been super excited since last Tuesday that I got approved. On Monday I go to the doctor for surgery date. I also have Blue Cross Blue Shield and it took them a week to approve me. I did have to meet all of there requirements they listed. It took me from my first consultation to turn in all of my paper work 3 weeks. Then one week of waiting for approval. I'm trying to have my surgery in between school break. Hopefully it works out!}

Congrats to all of the approved sleevers! I remember hearing about my approval, It took awhile for me to realize that the fight was over! It was as if that was my soul mission for 3+months ...jumping through all of the hoops. It all happens in due time. Then it's like it was all just a dream (nightmare, lol)! Just remember you're worth all the effort that you have put in to wrap this sleeve up! I am now 10days post op!!! Woot, Woot!

I had to ask the lady to repeat that I was approved on the phone. My whole process was a breeze but I wasn't expecting a call back so soon and then at 10 am my phone rings and I'm approved. I got a surgery date and a post op consult date five seconds after she told me that I was approved and then we hung up. I had to take a few minutes to get myself together. I just couldn't believe it! I'm so excited...11 days left!
