Waiting for insurance approval



Recommended Posts

I had my psych evaluation and nutrition appointment today. Now, my doctor's office will submit the revision request to my insurance. I'm hoping because my band has siipped twice that insurance will approve quickly. I could be sleeved as early as August (as long as there is not much damage after he takes the band out). I'm worried because I didn't do will with the band that I wont do well with the sleeve. It was nice to hear the psychologist say that I wasn't a faliure with the band, that the band failed to work for me. I keep thinking that maybe if I didn't throw up as often as I did that the band wouldn't have slipped. I was throwing up because the food (protien) wouldn't go down. I can't wait to be able to eat healthy foods without the fear of them coming back up.

I am also waiting on insurance approval. It came pretty quickly for my band approval. I wonder how it will go for the revision.

How is your process going?

I just called my insurance yesterday and they had no record of a revision request from my doctor. The doctors office said they would send the request again (thanks for letting them know). So now, the approval that I thought would only take a week, will be even longer. With my band (same insurance) approval took 1 month. I'm wondering I will have to wait that long for revision approval? How long did anyone elses approval take?
