I just called my insurance company to check on the status of my approval/denial. The told me that a letter was mailed to my dr on 3/25 stating that I met the requirements for the surgery!!! I'm SO happy and SO nervous!! :thumbup:

Congrats! It's a great feeling, isn't it? I never thought I'd ever see this side of the fence but I'm glad it's over. Just remember that after surgery is going to be a little tough. You'll probably be asking yourself why you did it but that's normal. I'm not trying to scare you, just prepare you. In the end it's worth it. It's going to take a least a few days to get back to feeling somewhat normal. Hang in there and every day gets better! :thumbup:

Thanks everyone for your kind words! I have a minor roadblock in my way right now, but I'm faithful that it will be fixed as well. When the drs office called to re-verify my benefits, they found out that for some reason my benefits were cancelled from October 2009-December 2009 (or something like that) even though I used them during that time and been covered by this policy since July 2008. It was an error on the part of my employer that they are having to work out between themselves and BCBS...otherwise, my pre-existing condition (morbid obesity) will not be covered until December 20, 2010. I look forward to posting a positive update to this tomorrow!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
