I finished my supervised diet and paperwork was submitted on 3/6. They told me it would be 2-15 business days, which seems like forever! Hopefully I will get an answer soon :).

Who's your insurance carrier? I was told it could take as long as 30 days to hear back from my insurance company (Anthem BCBS). :(

I have BCBS TX and it took one week. Everything was submitted on Valentines Day and I was approved on the 21st of Feb. My surgery is March 20th. Just be patient and pray.. (Be patient coming from the person that called the insurance company EVERYDAY) [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji53][emoji53][emoji17][emoji17][emoji17]

LOL! I know! My paperwork was submitted last Friday and I've called Monday and Wednesday. It has taken everything within me NOT to call today! Ha!

Congrats to you, ThickGirl5683! Your surgery date will be here before you know it!

Aetna. The insurance coordinator said average is 2 weeks. Im hoping in on the low end of that average

Mine was submitted 2/28 and I was approved on 3/2. I have Anthem BCBS. I was told with my specific employer plan, it would take 5 business days to get a decision.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
