Sadtosaygoodbye 256 Posted January 30, 2013 I am feeling CRAZY, especially when I hear people say it only took 1 or 2 days. I guess the norm isn't such a short time. It's hard to be patient when you are ready to get started on a new life. Well at least we are further than we were a month ago I can't believe how both of us are having the same exact issues, too funny. I will friend you. We need to stay in touch throughout this process, hopefully tomorrow will bring us better news!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marie12 0 Posted January 31, 2013 I feel your pain . I'm going through the same situation . My paperwork was suppose to be submitted on jan 14. I called the surgical coordinator and she claims she submitted last week. However , when I called the insurance today , they told they have not received anything from my surgeon. I'm super anxious bc I really want to be sleeved in feb . If I don't get a decision my next week , I'm getting all my paperwork n transferring to another hospital .

Sadtosaygoodbye 256 Posted January 31, 2013 Don't do it yet, give it a little time. You don't want to start all over. I know how you feel . It's just sooooo heartbreaking when you have people say "I was told in 1 dat or 2 days even 3 days. I am screaming on the inside right now!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

debiosbo 36 Posted January 31, 2013 You should allway call insurane yourself (at least once a day) this isn't something that we have work hard to get here... I was approved in less than 2 days and knew it before doctors office Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sadtosaygoodbye 256 Posted January 31, 2013 You and me both, when I went to the surgeons office for my fist visit I almost left. I was waiting for an hour and a half and no one said a word. In the office I made a call to see another surgeon the next week, as I was about to leave they called me in. I was so impatient I can't believe I was going to leave. My husband was like "What is wrong with you calm down". It took me a while to finally make this decision so I was on the edge of a nervous breakdown. . So I am glad I simmered down, but this waiting it upping my boiling point. What insurance do you have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

futuresleever 44 Posted January 31, 2013 I am wondering if it's the insurance company or the surgeons office. I want to hear something on today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
futuresleever 44 Posted January 31, 2013 Someone told me that they had to wait the full 15 days before approval. This is day 6 of 15 today. This is in business days. Seems like it takes a whole month after you've submitted or at least just about. I guess I should be glad that I am closer than when I started. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
