With my insurance, my first letter came about 2-3 weeks after submitting. They denied. We appealed with more info that they requested (2 years worth of weight records to prove my bmi has been elavated). Approval came 2 weeks or so after that. Hopefully it'll go smoothly for you... if not, don't give up!
