How Long After Getting APPROVED for Insurance did U have to Wait to Get Ur surgery?

Same here. Too late to worry about it. Also them i don't have to worry about messing up the holidays. My next appt is November 14. Last one in December. Do you already have all your other stuff done. The only labs I have had done yet is the blood work. I am worried things are not going to be ready to go when I am finished with my nutritionist.

Only thing i have left us my Psych eval which is Mon. Most if my test were done first month. Just ask them. Download the MyChart app on your phone and itll have all the appts, tests, and any messages from Ochsner there for you.

hey i was just wondering have u gotten your date yet. I seen u said Nov was your last month. i still have 4 more visits to make. On the last one i hadn't lose any weight but she said i still had time. Do you really have to lose weight to have the surgery and if u don't will they do it anyway? i am really trying but i cant seem to loose weight.

I have not recieved a date yet. My last appt was Nov 8 and i still havw not heard anything. They wont give a date until Ins approves. and yes U have to lose atleast the small goal. I wasnt losing for 3 months and i had 7 lbs to lose for my last month. i thought i wouldnt lose it then i weighed n and lost 8.4 so dont b discouraged. Jus keep working at it, itll pay off.

BTW how do U add Ur surgeons name to Ur forum

I CANT REMEMBER HOW I DID IT. LOL!!!!!BUT IM GOING TO KEEP PLAYING WITH IT AND I'LL GET BACK TO U WITH THE INFO. AND THANKS FOR SHARING.

I got it lol Thanks tho

I actually work for an insurance company in the authorizations department.  If the doctor submits everything required in the guidelines, it will only take about a week.  The biggest problem that I see is the nutritional visits not being right or a medical clearance letter missing.
