MHBTS 14 Posted March 11, 2016 I've been reviewing the postings here. They really help. Thanks to all. I did the initial doctor visit. All other appointments needed will be done by the end of the month. The office said they will submit paperwork to insurance by the end of the month so I assume maybe early May? Not sure. Any thoughts? Excited but nervous too. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamieLogical 8,710 Posted March 11, 2016 The timeline is really all dependent on your insurance company and the surgical program. Hopefully it will all go through sooner than later. Congratulations on beginning your journey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rking 484 Posted March 11, 2016 I actually got to schedule surgery before my approval. They do the paperwork for insurance so much they knew I had done everything necessary. I was approved in a matter of days. However, I called everyday to check. Had I waited on a letter in the snail mail, I would have waited three weeks to find out. Give it a few days then start calling. I have Aetna and actually used the chat feature online. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
