I'm in love with this thread...I'm waiting since 8/28....I'm so happy for all approvals, makes me so happy!! I don't know if its correct to call my insurance company? My insurance coordinator in the surgeon office is in vacations!

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Odd....I didn't pay any fee...., but this amount I think is high...good luck!

Hey, good luck! How are you? Keep in touch

Congrats to both of you! Good luck!!!!

Stay positive! Cross fingers for you and me!!

I'm sure that you will be approved, you will see!!! They are supposed to be strict, but I was reading for a very longggggggg time and its more easy than you think ... If you meet the criteria you will be approved, with your bmi you don't need comorbidities...in my case, my bmi is 35 ( boderline!), and I have diabetes, hbp, and high cholesterol. ...but I'm very nervous because my bmi is low, well we see.....good luck!!!! Btw, its the same insurance that we have???

I'm scare too!! Lol I just have too see the nut 2 times, and in between the process had a gallblader surgery (august 7)... I'm very nervous too, when your surgeon office submitted your documents? Mine was this week...

Hi, I live in MA and my insurance is Neighborhood Health Plan with Masshealth...I think it's the same insurance..? Well, if it is, they don't require a 6 months of supervised diet, just the normal requirements.... Bmi of 40 ( no comorbidities), or 35-39 with one comorbidity. You need a referral from your pcp for your first surgeon appointment. ...I'm waiting the insurance approval! If you have any question let me know! Good luck!

Thank you!

I'm in the waiting "time"....how you know you was approved? The insurance called you? Dr office? Approval letter? Did you called your insurance or surgeon office???

I hope I will sleeve in Oct...keep my fingers crossed for the insurance approval! Best wishes for all of you!!!

I'm so happy for you!!!!! Congrats!!!

Thank you! I have a lot of anxiety. ...

I'm very sick and tired that the people ask me if I'm pregnant! No, I'm not pregant, I'm fattttttttttttttttttttttt! At this point, I dont like to go to any place, I feel deppresed, and this doesnt help me.... I pray every day that my insurance approved my surgery, I'm waiting for a decision... Its horrible when all your fat is in ur belly......... Just vent,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,thanks

Im so sad for you....sorry. Appeal?

I hope so!!!!! Good luck!

I got it, so good for me!

Me too!!!!! I'm waiting the call!
