I'm in the same boat. I have all my pre-op done. The request for auth went to my insurance late last week so I'm just waiting on approval so I can schedule. I hate this limbo period of not knowing exactly when. My surgeon is shooting for the end of March. I'm hoping I get an answer soon.

I am also waiting. My stuff was submitted last week and insurance had called my surgeons office for more weight history (I hope that is not a bad thing!). I am tentatively scheduled for March 31st if approved!

I was fine throughout the 3 month supervised diet, but now that all the pre op is done I'm getting anxious to get it done. I'll be so bummed if it doesn't happen in March

I just keep telling myself to be patient. I'm noticing I'm craving junk food really bad....I guess anxiety is a trigger for me. I had been doing so well with my pre op dieting.

I am so excited. I had my last doctor's visit today. As he was leaving the room his said, "ok. next time I will see you is the day of the surgery." Now all I have to do is go to my last group session next week and then they will submit papers to my insurance company.

Based on when I would like to have the surgery I am 44 days away. A far cry from where I started from the very first day that I called and made the first appointment. Which was in August 2013.

This is my first post. Is there a spell check on here?

My papers were submitted to my insurance on the 12th. I hate the waiting. I want to know and get started already!
