HOW LONG?

[BetterNai88 54]

I have my last supervised diet visit 07/30. I know insurance approval can vary but about how long after insurance approval would I get a date?

I got my surgery date the same day the doctor received the approval. Of course the date was 2 and 1/2 months later but that is because my doctor is in high demand. Some people on here got their date within the same month. Good luck!

Thank you so much for your reply. I'm excited to be almost done with the process. 2 1/2 months is fine with me the later the better honestly as I'm quite tight on my time off available for the rest of the year lol. As long as it's before the end of the year I'll be happy.

I got my date the same day I got approval. The let me choose and I chose the closest one so I had surgery 2 weeks later.

I too got my date the day I was approved, they asked if I had a date preference. I said her earliest date July 14th

Thank you all for responding I hope they ask me about my preferences also I have to coordinate with my parents to come help me with my little one. Congrats to everyone.

I had my date before I was even approved. The Dr. knew I would be approved.

I had my date before I was approved. My doctor works at a couple different hospitals, so I got my date as soon as he started working for the bariatric practice I go to. My approval was through a few weeks after I got my date.

So I submitted to insurance last Thursday 07/24 it was approved Friday 07/25. I notified my surgeon's office Monday 07/28 they confirmed they had received my approval packet and it has been sent to my surgeon to sign off on. Here we are August 2nd and I still have not been contacted to schedule. :-(
