I called my insurance company twice, the second time I was told I was approved. Only 4 business days after submitting the paperwork.

So where as I thought my surgery was gonna be mid Aug...now we will see...Bariatric Center sd they will take about a week to submit stuff to insurance (that was on Wed) & then once insurance approves it, they sd surgery will be sched in 2wks!! Yaaay! Can't wait...I jst want a date! ????

I was calling everyday!!! I knew the day the nurse opened my file. So I knew the next day there would be an answer. As long as everything is there that is required it should go smoothly. They are benefits WE pay for! Mine took 5 days. The first time I called I told them my mother needed to fly here to help with my kids and the lady was really nice and said she submitted a note stating the case to be high priority.

@@SarahElizabeth Congratulations! I had to wait a month to find out and then my surgery was schedule more than a month out after that. The waiting was hard, but I couldn't be happier now.
