Surgery Date

[Kristinajedrey 12]

New to the app!! Waiting on approval from insurance. Was told I will hear in the next 10 days. Even though I am told I qualify, I am still so nervous that it will be denied!!! Praying for approval and looking forward to this new journey of health!!

Welcome and congrats. It took me the full month to hear back from insurance and it was torture. I am sure you will be fine.

KimA-GA, I’m getting the sleeve. As of today, no word from the insurance!! I’m trying to keep myself distracted but nervous as anything!

Have you tried calling your insurance ?

[Kristinajedrey 12]

No, because I was told they would have an answer within 5-15 days from the 18th, so just going to wait!

Possible surgery date!!!!! Just got a call from my doctors coordinator. There was a small hiccup in the approval process. Apparently I now don’t qualify by BMI… Missing it by like 6 pounds, but I do have sleep Apnea. The insurance people did not see my sleep apnea diagnosis and the coordinator forgot to put the medical clearance info in, SOOOO, she has resubmitted and we should hear back in the next 5 days. She has tentatively given me a date of November 18th!

Thats great! I had to have extra bloodwork done that was forgot so it happens. I'm sure insurance will approve.
