Oh wow I have state health insurance so they get back to you right away. I'm hoping it only takes a few months. I guess I will just have to wait and see

My first appt was late November, 2014, and my surgery is scheduled for August 17. My insurance required a 6-month diet but, once the paperwork was filed, they approved the next day!

My fist appt was in December... Had to do 6 month visits with my pcp and within those 6 month schedule appts with nut,heart doc, sleep study, psych etc... My paper work was submitted to insurance In May and it took about 3 weeks to hear back that I was approved....Had surgery this past June on the 24th... So this entire process took 6 months....
