The wait begins

So, my surgeon's office FINALLY received all of my paperwork from my Dr on Friday, and sent it off to my insurance company today!! (finished my six month diet on June 4th). They told me it could take up to 30 days to hear a decision, but I'm really hoping it doesn't take that long!! Fingers crossed for an easy approval!

I was just like you. I finished my supervised diet Friday (6/14) I Didn't trust my GP nurse to fax the paperwork to my surgeon so I did it myself. The surgeon contacted insurance Monday, and I called the insurance today to make sure the paperwork was submitted and I was already approved!

Call the insurance and ask about the status of your paperwork. I did and I was already approved! Apparently most (like mine) mail you a letter in 7-10 business days..ugh
