BubblesOhSoSleeved 129 Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) @@BubblesOhSoSleeved how long did it take after u found out u wanted to surgery to get an approval? FutureFitGirl With my situations im going through insurance...I had my first initial appointment Nov 17th...then it took them a week to get back with me...my patient advocate emailed me my surgeons requirements which I started getting done right away. After that it took them another 2 weeks to submit my request for approval to my insurance and that rook another week...and then another week to get scheduled...but remember I did mine around the holidays so it took a little longer with the holiday delays...also my insurance requirements weren't much...I had to have been 18 years or older, a Dr. Recommendation (my surgeon), to be either 35 plus bmi with morbities or 40 plus BMI without morbities...then I need to a psych evaluations and dietician evaluation staring I understood my post diet requirements. So Im 46.2 BMI with sleep apnea (a morbity requires for approval if under 40 bmi) so about a month and a half... hope that helps Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App Edited January 3, 2017 by BubblesOhSoSleeved Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
