Awaiting insurance approval



Recommended Posts

I am dying over here! Been away approval for a week and two days. I checked my referral online and one thing is approved and the other part in process. I feel like the longer I wait the more nervous I get! Ahh!!!

I know exactly how you feel, although mine was not quite that long......my surgeons office submitted two procedures for approval....the hiatal hernia repair, and the sleeve......The hernia repair auto approves they don't even review anything regarding that....and then it was 6 days before they finally reviewed and approved the sleeve......the wait is very nerve wracking!!! Good luck!!!

I can't even tell what is what lol. I am just having the sleeve so I'm not sure what is approved and what is in process. I am giving it till Monday then I am going to call and find out. Maybe I will get lucky and it will change today!

I'm playing the waiting game now as well today makes day 5. And they don't show it online so I can only find out by calling, waiting on a letter in the mail or when the scheduler calls me . Needless to ay I am super polite but I call them every day.

Waiting here too! luckily mine only consists of a phone call to get approval but the nurse who does it said she would submit yesterday or Monday and call me as soon as she got off the phone. Well I didn't hear from her yesterday so looks like it's Monday. Lol good luck! :)

Nope. Found out mine is on hold due to my heart condition and they have to get my cardiologists ok. My cardiologist just left the practice on 4/29 lol.... So not sure what's going on now.

I call every single day today I finally got a number so I guess it's officially being reviewed because they have assigned it like the ticket number

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
