praying for speedy insurance approval.



Recommended Posts

I go for my last 6month required appointment on wednesday the 6th and am praying that insurance responds quickly and with approval. Wednesday they will submit everything (letter of neccessity, 6months of visits, bmi 52, plus elevated bp and insulin resistance.) My anxiety is through the roof over all this will feel so much better when I know Im approved.

I know how you feel. I go to the nutritionist and psychologist on Nov 13th and then they will submit to my insurance company. The doctor said it usually takes a week or so to hear from them. I am a nervous wreck already!

Ugh! that final waiting period is the worst! I had my final hoop jump visit on September 22nd then I was told that it would be four to six weeks wait to hear if I had been approved. (I have Aetna.) It took five weeks. Longest five weeks of my life! LOL But looking back on it, now that i have my approval and date and my approval letter safely tucked away, it doesn't seem so long, after all. Hang in there, the time will pass, I promise you and soon, you will have everything you have been working towards. :D

I'm in the same boat. I finished all my pre-op testing on Oct. 30th. My doctor's office said I should be hearing from them sometime this week. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I am only believing that everything will work out. Honestly, one of my biggest concerns is how to deal with all the holiday stuff that will be coming up. Good luck to everyone!

Hey Ladies, finished my four required appointments too. Waiting for final approval. Drs office said it could take 30-45 days but it usually takes 2-3 weeks. They told me to start my preop liquid diet this week so when we got approval they could schedule surgery right away!! Awesome! Good luck!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
