Hello everyone congrats on everyone who has recieved their approvals! And crossing my fingers for those who are still waiting!

Started my journey March 9th, I have all my clearances (cardio, pulmonary, sleep study and psych). My 5th visit with my PCP is on July 12 and my last will be on August 1. So I am praying that end of August hoping my insurance (healthfirst) approves!

Was a bit sad because I thought I wouldn't be able to have surgery since I had my appendix removed 6/26/16 was experiencing abdominal pain but my vsg surgeon said that it wouldn't be pushed back!

Hoping everything goes well and positive vibes to all!!!

I finished up my 6 months the required supervised weight loss with my pcp mid june, I'm now scheduled with my first appointment to see my surgeon and the nut on the same day july 20th.( I was honestly hoping to have surgery as close to my b day as possible the 26th). I have met all other requirements, once I meet with the surgeon he will give me an amount of weight to lose and only if I meet that goal will he schedule surgery

After I completed all of the required test (blood work, endoscopy, ekg, sleep study...) then everything was submitted to my insurance and I received approval within 2 weeks. I know every insurance company can be different. When I initially called months ago I was told it would not be covered at all with several calls I received accurate information on everything I needed to do prior to approval. I felt fortunate that the hospital I am having my surgery at was very helpful with this process.
