Yay! My surgeon's office submitted my information to my insurance yesterday afternoon and called me at 11:30 this morning saying they received the approval. My surgery is scheduled for April 30th. I'm so excited!

wow! I wish my BC had been that fast. Still I suppose they worked fast enough. It all happened within a couple of months...from my first consultation to surgery date.

Congratulations!

Wow, That is wonderful. I have my last appointment on May 2nd which they will then submit to my insurance. I am thinking that will be the worse part. Having to wait to see if they approve. Congrats on getting the approval. Soon you will be banded.

Did you guys have to wait 6 months as part of the insurance process?

No. I just had to see a nutritionist for 3 months, have a diagnosis of obesity for 2 years, proof of attempted weight loss for the past year and a mental health exam. Since I had been to the doctor numerous times regarding my weight the diagnosis and proof of attempted weight loss were easy. I also submitted a letter from my personal trainer. My first consultation was January 16, 2012 and my surgery is April 30th.
