Approved! Finally!

[MissKatie 12]

I just got the call about 45 minutes ago from my surgeon's office saying that my insurance had finally approved me!! YAY!

I was denied at first for not being obese 5 years ago in 2008 (stupid). So my insurance company asked that I have a 2 hour glucose test and a letter from my doctor stating why I am taking Metformin. <I was diagnosed with insulin resistance about 8 years ago, and the insurance company only originally requested 5 years of medical records>

So, after submitting all of that extra stuff to them yesterday (or maybe this morning is when they got it ?) I AM FINALLY APPROVED! :D

Congratulations! Do you have your date yet???

[MissKatie 12]

Thanks everyone!! I am so excited and relieved to finally know the answer! I don't have a date yet, they center didn't get the approval until late this afternoon. I will call my surgeon on Tuesday morning and set a date for my consultation. I guess I will find out a date then.

I really hope I get a date soon. I think with my work schedule, it may be around the middle of October before I can take off for it. Hoping that will work with the surgeon's office!

Thank you so much! Yes, it is a major relief! I feel like such a weight has been taken off my shoulder. Now comes the next stress, waiting for surgery day! That's a different kind of anxious though!!

Found out today my surgery date is September 18th! Whoo hoo!!
