I'm so excited I'm scheduled for October 30 to have my surgery and just received a letter of approval from my insurance company! Now I just need the clearance of my cardiologist and pulmonologist which I find out the 22 so hopefully I'm good to go! Anyone just have surgery? Any advice?

Congratulations! My paperwork was submitted last Wednesday. How long did it take the insurance company to come back with an approval?

I went for my first consultation in august and was scheduled for October 30 and got the letter this Friday. I didn't know I would get an approval letter honestly but here I am! Good luck to you!

Wow...that was fast. I'm a little nervous my insurance company will deny me. I was told at the beginning I had to go through 6 months of supervised weight loss classes. But since a few of my co-workers had the surgery recently without doing this, I asked the insurance coordinator to submit my paperwork. Thank you and good luck to you, too.

Wow. I guess my insurance isn't as tough I just need the clearance of a psychologist gastroenterologist cardiologist and a pulmonologist and 2 nutrition classes. The only "struggle" I've had has been that I don't like my cardiologist because I felt fat shamed but so close to surgery I need to be approved soon and don't want to change so close to surgery.

It's funny how every insurance company has different requirements. Don't let the cardiologist steal your joy. After the surgery you won't think like that anymore. Good luck on your journey.
