You're all I got! (Waiting on insurance)

[socalfosh 17]

So I submitted to insurance on Friday to remove band and revise to sleeve. Its only Monday and I keep checking my phone and email. This is gonna be a loooooong wait! Lol.

I've made the personal choice to only confide in my husband and my best friend who do not have weight issues. So you're my support while I go coo coo playing the waiting game!

Peace & Love - Nicnac

Curious if anyone has heard back about their insurance yet? I found out my paperwork hasent even been submitted yet. =/

Same happened to me. They were supposed to submit on the 1st I checked with my insurance the 5th nothing... Called again Monday... Nothing... They finally sent it in the 9th and now I wait...

Mine was submitted on the 2nd but when I called the insurance company on the 9th, they said they haven't received anything. Called the doctor's and they resubmitted again. I called on the 10th to make sure they got it. (Which they did). The insurance rep said they sent a message back to the doctor's office stating they were missing my EGD and gall bladder US. So now I'm waiting on that to be sent. This process has been a test of my patience.

I've been waiting for three weeks now maybe I should call my insurance and see if they received the paper work.. Uhhhmmm

When I posted this question and said my paperwork wasn't even submitted yet I was a bit annoyed. I was told by my insurance they didn't have any request on file. So, yesterday (7/11) I emailed my patient advocate and asked for an update. No response. Today (7/12) they called to inform me the band removal to sleeve conversion was approved! I was not expecting that but I am so excited. All my pre-op tests are scheduled for next week. Wow.
