OMG I am dying while I wait for Health Partners insurance approval.. I'm practically consumed thinking about it... This coming Friday is 2 weeks since they recieved it.. So I should hear something this week.. But I've also heard that the denials happen fast.. within a week of recieving... So I'm assuming if I haven't heard yet, it's a good sign..

Take a deep breath and relax!  :)  It will come before you know it and then you'll be a loser like me, which, for the first time ever, is a GOOD thing!  Hang in there, honey!!

I can do this, I can do this, I can do this - AND SO CAN YOU!!

I, too, am waiting although there should be no reason I 'm aware of that I would be denied. I'm with Medica - does anybody know about long I will need to wait for them to approve?

Why would anybody be denied if they did all the research/questioning with their insurance company before starting all of the pre-op "stuff" ??

I was certainly hoping to hear something in less than 2 weeks.
I hope you hear something SOON!

WestieMom:  I have my insurance through Medica and I just got my approval on Thursday afternoon (5/7).  My info was submitted the previous week on Monday April 27th.  So it took that week plus about 4 more days.  The "care coordinator" phone prompt area was messed up so I ended up just calling customer service and having them go through the prompts for me and just connecting me.

I am waiting on approval.  I live in Kansas and have decided to go to the Mayo Clinic.  I have BCBS Federal plan.  My doctors have send my info to BCBSMN 5/1/09.  I hope to have RNY in August.

I would just be proactive, and call your bariatric office.  Who is to say they will call you the second they get the approval?  Maybe someone is on vacation so there are less staff.
