Its Janet B 9 Posted August 11, 2013 I am having my sleeve done in Slidell, Louisanna on August 15th. I am from the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I am so excited and nervous. Can't wait for it to be done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grandmacathy 30 Posted August 11, 2013 Can't wait to hear your progress. I haven't gotten my necessity letter from the doctor yet. I am nervous he won't give me one. Then I don't know what I will do. How long did it take for your insurance to approve you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Its Janet B 9 Posted August 11, 2013 At first it took 2-3 weeks, then the insurance wanted the past five years of doctors notes. It was approved right away then. But I have Medicare, so maybe that made a difference. I had to wait until I got Medicare to get it done. My previous insurance wouldn't pay for it under any circumstances.
