Congrats! I hope I get mine soon!

Good luck to you! How far into the process are you?

Paperwork was submitted to insurance on the 13th. They are saying it takes 15 days to get an answer. Just hoping they get it soon because I got an email yesterday that said my company is making changes to our medical plan that affect bariatric surgery and the changes take place on April 1. It's not an exclusion. But the change could make the surgery more expensive. So hoping to get the surgery done before April 1. Fingers crossed.

My insurance also said 14 business days for a reply, but I got a reply in 24 hours. My Nut said its a really slow time of year, so responses are typically faster right now. Fingers crossed that it will be fast for you as well!!!????

I go 3/3!! This liquid diet is killing me. I have no energy. I spent 5 hours at the hospital doing pre op testing today, so glad that's over.

Congrates. Stick to it, it helps firm and shrink your liver.

I just wanted to update you since you had asked, but I called insurance today and I have been approved!! I was actually approved on the 18th! Eeeek!

I'm going to call my doc office on Monday and find out when I can meet with my surgeon to set a date.
