Ok , You look great '!!' . I was just sleeved on 2/28. I hope that in one year I can lose about 80 pounds .... Thanks for posting those pics , it's a great motivation for us newbies .

Happy birthday !!! You look great !!!! How many pounds have you lost ? Do you have any before pictures ?

Thank you everyone . ... I'm so nervous !!! If everything goes well with the insurance , my surgery might be on 2/27

Congrats to all the approvals!!!!????????????????????. I'm still waiting for my approval .????. The insurance told me that all I'm missing is a letter from my pcp. It's called a medical necessity letter , basically with my bmi , conditions and family history . I'm so afraid that deny me . Has anyone's insurance requested this letter ?

Hey , I'm jabbing the same problem . My coordinator was suppose to submit my paperwork on jan 14 . I have contact my insurance almost everyday and they have not received anything . Before she use too answer her phone or call me back . Now she does not answer at all . I'm about to schedule an appointment and ask what's going on . I'm really fed up , if its too much work for her to send paperwork , then I should just take my paperwork someplace else. I really want to have surgery with my surgeon but if my process will continue to be delayed bc of her . then I will have to go so place else .

Congratulations beautyandbeyond !!! I'm really happy for you . You have UHC ? I hope I get my respond soon . Do you have a surgery date?

That's how I feel . I anxious and constantly looking at my phone . I'm praying that by the end of this week , I get my approval .

I feel your pain . I'm going through the same situation . My paperwork was suppose to be submitted on jan 14. I called the surgical coordinator and she claims she submitted last week. However , when I called the insurance today , they told they have not received anything from my surgeon. I'm super anxious bc I really want to be sleeved in feb . If I don't get a decision my next week , I'm getting all my paperwork n transferring to another hospital .

Congrats , that's excellent news . Hopefully everything goes well and you can get your surgery next week . I will continue to stalk my insurance

Hey beautyandbeyond, I called my insurance today and they said they didn't see any paperwork on my file regarding the surgery . I didn't call the surgical coordinator because I was going to curse out. It already been two weeks n she has not submitted the paperwork . Tomorrow I will give her a call . How about you ?

I completely understand you . I been in this process for almost a year . Finally, I'm done with everything and the coordinator has not sent my paperwork . She claims she send on Friday but when I called my insurance today , they said that they have now received anything. !! I'm super anxious to know of I got approved . I also want to put in my paperwork at work . It's so frustrating !!!!!

Ok thanks . I really want to have surgery this year

I know exactly how you feel . I been in this process since March 2012. Lets keep our fingers crossed!!!

Wow you look great !!! Keep up the good work !!!,

Thanks , that's a good price , I was thinking of going to the Dominican Republic if my insurance Denys Me!!!

Beautifulandbeyond , I called the surgeon office and the coordinator finally submitted my paperwork today . I also have UHC and heard within two days they make a decision . Good luck to you , hopefully we both get approved by Tuesday !!

Thank you !!! I'm going to keep calling. I really want to have surgery for feb 2013 .

Thanks beautyand beyond for the support .. I'm really praying that I can have surgery in feb . The surgeon told me that I can have surgery middle of feb . I'm just getting really nervous bc feb is already the corner and my paperwork has not been submitted ... My husband tells me not to call the surgeon too much but I just get too anxious, so I end up calling almost every other day lol

Hi, what's is the name of the surgeon in DOminican republic and how much are you paying ?

I called my insurance today and they told me they have not received anything from my surgeon . I have been super nervous for the past two weeks , just waiting for the approval . I'm so disappointed with my surgeon, i just cant my believe my paperwork is just sitting on the coordinators desk . I thought this week , I was going to have an answer from my insurance . Im so anxious to get the approval and surgery date !!!!!!! I'm super worried that Oxford Denys me !!!!!

Congrats ! I am super nervous too waiting for the insurance to approve me !!! I'm really happy for you !!!!
