Hi all- I'm 26, living in VA , and currently waiting on approval from my insurance company. I called my surgeons office today and the nurse told me they sent my paperwork in for approval last Friday. My mother had RNY Gastric Bypass surgery a couple years ago and she's doing well. I've been thinking about it for the past year but never really pursued it. A couple months ago I had a conversation with a coworker who had lap band surgery last year and she suggested I check out her doctors office. And here I am. I'm nervous and anxious. I look forward to chatting with you all!

Hi all, I was approved yesterday by BCBS, four days total. Not too bad. I don't have a date for sugery yet, I was told there's about 40 other people ahead of me to schedule so it will be about two weeks before I hear about a date.

Thanks! I was a little shocked to hear about the wait time. But nothing I can do about it, except hope to hear something before the two weeks is up.

Congrats!

Yes, I will definitely talk it over with my doc. It's amazing how much you miss it once your away. Namaste!

I was approved today. I'm still stunned. It didn't take long at all, four days total.

Hi Wishes! Thank you for the warm welcome. This board is a great resource and I'm looking forward to chatting with you all in the future. I see you're almost there!
