Waiting on insurance approval....................

[Heller2u 11]

Let me clarify. In the beginning, it was very disappointing to know that I had to do a 6 mo supervised diet. I was ready at that moment for surgery to solve all of my problems. On my first visit to my doctor, I told her that I did not want to waist my time. I wanted to be serious about losing weight and make good use of this time. That is what I did. I learned a lot about myself. I got applause from my pcp and nutritionist about the changes that I have already made in my diet. Sooooo, hindsight sees more clearly. I am glad I went through the 6 months. I can definitely say that I have gotten wiser!

Yes, I agree, the time has been well spent. I've done a lot more homework about the sleeve and the changes that I need to make than I would have if I would've been approved right away. I'm just soooo ready now to have the surgery that I'll be really disappointed if they deny. Good luck to you with both of your surgeries!

I pray that you all will be blessed with the desires of your heart!!:pray2: Prayer still works!!

At least you know your insurance will cover it. Mine took it out of the contract...

I got a call from my doctor's office today telling me I'm approved!!! Woohoo! They just submitted it last Friday. I didn't expect it to happen that fast. So I have my date which is September 12th. Can't wait to join all the losers!

I'm waiting too! Mine was just submitted Friday, but I think I'm going to call the insurance company tomorrow to check status. Too anxious!
