it only took mines a week after it was submitted....the insurance lady called and said I see you are scheduled for surgery...I almost passed out...lol

How long until you guys submitted stuff til you got insurance approval? My last appt is next Friday!! So I'm trying to estimate time it will take to get approval & surgery date....

Mine was submitted on June 23 and approved on June 24, the very next day. But, I didn't find out until today when I called the insurance myself because they hadn't sent the notification to the surgeon yet. But, I think 7-10 days is average from the other posts I have read.

Lol then there's mine... I went through reassessment on Thursday last week and Wednesday this week the surgeon's office still has not submitted to the insurance company. They said I should know something within the next 2.5 weeks.... So based on what I've seen here and what they told me... Anywhere from 1 day to 2.5 weeks from submission to the insurance company.

Mine took about a week to get approved and the next available appointment at my surgeons office was a week after. I was hoping for a mid July surgery date but my surgeon was all booked up until August 2nd! I'm excited!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
