Great news. Hoping mine goes as fast as yours, although it will probably be after the holidays. Keep up updated.

Congrats!!!!

YEYYY.. !!

who was your insurance company? what all did you have to go through? any comobidities? I hope to hear that I get approved soon.

My insurance company is Blue Cross Blue Shield for Federal Employees. I had to follow a 3 month doctor supervised diet, have 2 years documentation of being obese, my BMI was high enough that I didn't need a comorbidity listed, but we did have documented in my medical record that I was insulin resistant, had a few episodes of high blood pressure, and joint pain. I kept a 3 month log of activity, meal plan and vital signs (blood pressures and pulse) and turned it in to add to my medical record. I really think this helped them see that I was serious about sticking with the plan. I had to be seen and evaluated by a psychiatrist and nutritionist. I met with a personal trainer (that wasn't required) and had them make a plan for me too to show the surgeon and insurance company. I was literally approved in 24 hours and I was stunned. I hope you get approved soon too.

Take care,

Jen
