Dose anyone have Great West Insurance?

If you have the insurance Did you get approved? How long did it take

Yes I have Great West. I had to do a six month supervised diet plan. After all the tests and diet my surgeon's office sent in the package. They first denied it saying I didn't have a six month diet (which I did) that I never was on prescribed diet pills ( which my pc doctor would never approve of) and that I didn't do well on my physch. eval. (which on my first visit she had concerns about my binging. So I went back after 4 months telling her I had addressed those issues and she then said I would be a good canidate.) So my surgeon called the insurance co doctor and they had a peer to peer conversation. I guess the insurance doctor was embarrassed about his orignial decision and I was approved within the week! My surgeons office was very helpful and really took care of it all. My surgery is Monday, April 7th!!
