I don't know why no one will answer me when I ask questions, I've posted a few things and no one helps me with anything. Why not?

I don't know about them, but mine took 2.5 weeks. But from what I read your insurance CO is quicker.

My insurance approved in about 1 week

Turn around time requirements for insurance is 15 calendar days. I'm not familiar with the ABH process, but I think it's reasonable to check in at a week after submission. If it's been over 15days and you still don't have an answer try to have the case escalated for quicker review.

I have blue cross/blue shield of Illinois and my approval came within five hours. What I suggest doing is call your insurance company. They could've already approved you but haven't sent the letter yet. Actually, I got my letter a week after the approval. I only knew because the case manager for my surgeon's office called me to let me know it happened so quick.

      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.
