Waiting For Gastric Sleeve Surgery Approval

[Anakin Jay 39]

Just had all my info submitted for final approval, why do I feel like I just passed a note to the popular girl in my 7th grade class asking her to the dance, and hoping she circles "Yes" before she hands it back to me?

LOL, I know how you feel. I was on pins and needles the whole time waiting to hear back.... I started to annoy my nutritionist and the insurance company, vowing to call or email them twice a week until I heard back. It worked.

PS - Would that be Boba Fatt in your icon?

haha... The lady at my surgeons office says she calls insurance every other day to check on the status... I guess they know if they sit on it they have to keep dealing with her, so they push it through faster

and YES IT IS!! That's my battle cry for when I get nervous about surgery, or when I don't want to work out... I remind myself that I'm going to turn "From FATT to FETT" !!

Good luck with a quick approval. I got mine in less than a week and I found out before my surgeon's office did- I was the one who told them I was approved!

I called my insurance the day after it was submitted and the rep said they had received everything.... Then I called the next day, I was approved!!

I would call myself!! It won't hurt!!!..

January 24th I start rocking the sleeve incredibly nervous and excited at the same time... ><
