I called atena today and they said they are missing info and that they had called my surgeons office last Friday but the office was closed so they mailed a letter to them. the lady said they wanted to know if I had a comorbidity(which I didn't think mattered since my bmi was 40. They also said they didn't receive my initial initial physical assessment. I will be calling my surgeons office @ 9 am tomorrow

Hey, no. I actually had to call them but my dr has to send in her portion but the real reason it takes 6 months is because I'm required to see the dietician 6x but you can only see them once a month ????. Also I'm waiting to be scheduled for my sleep apnea test & then once the results come in my surgeon will send his portion & then hopefully speaking that I get approved then the surgeon will schedule the appointment...it's just a lot of paper work & waiting & appointments. So I'm praying I get approved after having to go through so much.

Right. My insurance told me it could be between 6-9 months but the surgeon & my primary said all of there previous patients has been 6 months so I shouldn't be any different but still that's long

Yes, but it will move. I had 4 months of testing and appts, and this month is taking me into my 5th month. But it has moved so quickly!
