My insurance company (Horizon BCBS, NJ) told me to expect a 5 day turnaround - but they decided they needed a second review and told me that it could take 7-14 days for the second review

I had my final required nutritionist appointment on 8/3/16. All the referrals and lab work was also done (I was done with all that like the month before). My surgery is already scheduled for 9/19/16, which I take as a good sign. The doctor sees no reason why my insurance would deny me. They did say to give it up to 14 business days. It's been about 7. The waiting is killing me lol.

I have Excellus BCBS and it took them about 4 HOURS. I had to call just to make sure I was reading my screen right!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
