OMG OMG OMG I got approved today AND set my date!

[swizzle 120]

I am beyond excited right now!!

I just finished the last of my "homework" yesterday with lab work and had an appointment coming up this week to determine what comes next... thinking that's when they'd submit for insurance approval and then I'd have an eternity to wait and see if it went through.

IMAGINE my surprise when I get a call today and they said that not only had they already submitted for approval, but it was approved and I have my date set for 2 WEEKS!!!! March 15th, baby! That's one wonderful birthday present to myself (March 7th!)

Thank you all for the support and shared excitement! I've been giddy all day at work!

I'm getting the RNY bypass. My doctor is amazing and I'm feeling just on top of the world!

I was originally worried, because I have Blue Shield California, and the requirements used to be a 6 month waiting period, but they changed it last year and a lot of offices hadn't gotten the change, so when I went in for my first consultation, they still said 6 months. I found the updated surgery requirements document from a lovely gal on this site, who ran into the same snag, brought that into the doc's office, and now, about 2 months later I'm almost ready for surgery!! SQUEE!!

My birthday is also March 7th. Just finished all the requirements today. Which surgery are you getting?
