Im in CT manchester just started process...how long was you insurance approval?

[LindsJ83 56]

I went to the seminar in May and had to do the 6 month dietary visits with my doctor. My paperwork was sent into insurance on October 16th and it was about a week until I heard though the insurance company said it only took that long because they had requested a paper from my doctor's office. I had to wait a week because one of the ladies was on vacation. So, pending any hangups and stuff - I'd say it was really only 3 days. My insurance company is great - and very quick!

Crissy where are you having the surgery done?

When do you get your surgery date?

[LindsJ83 56]

Crissy it depends on what your insurance company and surgeon require you to do. Because I had to do the 6 month diet, I had to wait until after to submit. During that time I had a psych eval, barium swallow, upper endoscopy, 2 nutritional visits and 6 dr weigh-ins. I also had multiple blood panels, 2 ekg's and had to attend at least 2 support group meetings. After my last dr weigh in, my surgeon's secretary faxed over all my ppw to insurance.
