Almost there
I have been considering WLS on and off for several years but it never felt like the right time (small kids, divorce, graduate school etc). Over the past several months I have been seeing my family Dr and discussing health issues with her. At my last appointment , in July, I asked her about WLS and she was very supportive. On 8/10 I had my consultation and was informed that I had enough Drs visits to satisfy insurance requirements. The dr worked me in with the nutrionist that day, I have the scope Friday and my pscyological next week. The nurse said I would be ready to submit for approval by 9/1!!!! I wasn't expecting it to be so quick. On the plus side. I know exactly what I'm getting into. My mom and sister have both had the surgery and I was with them through the entire process.
I have United Healthcare through my husband's employer and it took 3 days. But the insurance specialist at the hospital said normally 10 days.

I also have United Healthcare through my employer and it took 2 days for approval. Good luck!
