This waiting is killing me!

My documents were submitted to insurance (Anthem BCBS of CA) last Friday. Tomorrow is 7 days. They said it could take up to 15 days. I want to call and check every hour. This is driving me nuts!!

I would call... a squeaking wheel gets taken care of soon!! LOL! They can't do more than say, "we are still working on it"

I'm glad I called, too (Anthem BCBS CalPers). It turned out some paperwork was missing and the person at the surgeon's office didn't understand that part of it was missing and just refaxed what she had already sent. Added time to the process. But I was approved 3 days after they got the missing info (I was told it was a 5 business day window they were using now but that may be because it's CalPers).

That is the WORST part! I called insurance once a day every day until they told me I was approved!

I want to call everyday. I do it every other and get a different story every time. I'll wait to call on Thursday. Congrats on getting approved!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
