On my way!!!

[Connie26 33]

So yesterday was my final NUT appt... This week i completed my cardiologist, pulmonologist, and surgeon clearance... On Monday my 6 months worth of pre-op will be submitted to my insurance for approval (or gasp, denial)... I'm just saying a prayer that it goes through and is approved because I start my pre-op diet next week! Can't believe how fast these 6 months have gone!!! Hoping to be living the banded life starting 8/5/13!!

Awesome! So excited for you! Did you get a surgery date before your approval? I have surgery next week! Best wishes to you!!!

[Connie26 33]

Yes - date has been set for 3 months... I should find out this week if I'm approved and I'm terrified!! After all the prep I've done since January! Good luck next week!!! Can't wait to hear how you do!!

Congrats on that accomplishment...it is a lot of work getting the pre-op stuff done! Im finishing up my psych this tues and nutritionist next and then they will submit. It is nerve wracking hoping they approve it and quickly!

Please let us know how it turns out for you.... Are you being banded in 3 weeks 8/5 or 3 months.....you had 2 different dates posted...hoping its the earlier for you!

[Connie26 33]

Oh I may have wrote that wrong then - it's always been 8/5 (3 weeks from tomorrow)... I'm so excited but I know this excitement bubble will be severely deflated if I get denied by insurance :-/ I'll keep you posted!!!
