I found out something interesting a few months back. I had to call my insurance company about something related to my sleep study and decided I would ask them to clarify the requirements for weight loss surgery. After speaking to a few people, it seemed clear that there was no 5 month supervised weight loss requirement.
So, I called my surgeon's office and told them what they said. Long story short, my documentation was sent over last week to my insurance provider for approval....instead of having to wait until May. It is only a bit early but every days counts!
The insurance contact at the surgeon's office said it could be 4 weeks until we hear back about an approval.
I am hoping for an approval...instead of having to go back and forth a few times.

Prep Update

Here is a list of what I have to do in order to even submit for insurance approval:

6 months of a medically supervised program - MAY NOT BE NEEDED FOR APPROVAL! I spoke with my insurance and this is not one of their requirements! So, hopefully I will be applying at the end of the month.

Sleep Study

Endoscopy

Nutritionist Appointment- scheduled
