SlimChickadee 219 Posted October 30, 2019 Ikr! I cannot wait until my appointment Monday, do anyone know how long it will take to hear from the insurance if she submits it Monday, I will even say her sending off by Tuesday everything is electronic now?

loridee11 522 Posted October 30, 2019 No call yet but the office warned me it could be up to 2 weeks. I’ll call back Monday if I don’t hear anything since I’m Impatient 😊 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hollywood732 3 Posted October 30, 2019 @Quinnmedicinewoman52, my surgeon's office said it could take up to 14 days to hear back from my insurance company once all my prerequisites are complete. I still have my psych eval and endoscopy next week and then I'm done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SlimChickadee 219 Posted October 30, 2019 Woohooo for you Hollywood732! I hope it doesnt take 14 days I will be worried sick! I read some of the post on here and some are saying 5 days! I will keep you posted! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hollywood732 3 Posted October 31, 2019 @Quinnmedicinewoman52 I hope you get an answer ASAP! I know the wait will be nerve wracking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cwright 1 Posted November 2, 2019 Just found out today....surgery is Dec. 5th.Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app 1 SlimChickadee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rckc270 19 Posted November 2, 2019 I’ve completed all of the prerequisites as well. Seems as if it has taken forever to get it all checked off (six month doctor supervised diet, cardiologist approval, pulmonologist approval, nephrologist approval, two appointments with nutritionist, 2 support group meetings, endoscopy). Needless to say the last 7 months has been a very busy. My surgeon submitted for approval of the surgery to the insurance last Friday (10/25/19). Hoping I get the approval and the surgery is scheduled for late this month or first part of December. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

loridee11 522 Posted November 2, 2019 Congratulations to all of you with a date! Still waiting but keeping my fingers crossed. When I was there a week ago Friday they were still scheduling in November so I'm hopeful they'll have space in December (and hopefully early December). For those of you who have shared a Dec date, I'm following you on the site so we can stay in touch through this journey. Go us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
