My doctors office submitted the paperwork to my insurance company last Thursday. Today, I got the call that I was approved! That has to be a record. It was actually approved Friday afternoon so it only took 1 day. I go in on Wednesday to schedule surgery but it should be in 2-3 weeks. This process has been so super easy and fast for me and I am so thankful. I know it is not always so smooth for everyone. It feels real now!

We have a PPO through Humana. It is a really great plan through the county my husband works for. They have been amazing.

Congrats!  I was just approved last week, and scheduled today.  Seems there are several of us getting that "end of the year" surgery in!  (Not necessarily by choice)  Early December for everyone!  ;-)

Congratulations... I just decided between the lap band and the sleeve ( decided to go with the sleeve)... and the insurance lady at the surgeon's office just sent me a note saying that she would have the letter and info out to my insurance company by the end of the week.... So now I wait. It's ok  

 

Anyway. Good for you !
