Anyone from Oklahoma?

Anyone here from Oklahoma that would be willing to be a buddy of mine? I'm very new to this, I'm still deciding what and if this is right for me.

I'm from Oklahoma!! I'm still new at this also. I started looking into this in Feb & finally got approved w/ insurance in april. I changed surgeons in may due to new surgeon being in my insurance network. Now trying to wait patiently with new Dr. I have done all my requirements and keep checking back with them weekly to verify everything has been done. Just a couple of days ago when I called they assured me they were doing chart checks that day & we would know something soon. So I will call next week again if I don't hear from them. So hopefully I will be able to schedule this for August!!

Good luck to you!!!

I'm very curious about what insurance you have and how that's been working for you. I work for the State, so I've been trying to figure out if my insurance covers this or what I've got to do to get approved. Yay fellow Okie!

Of course, no prob! I have BCBSOK. They declined first because my BMI was 35 & they require it to be 40. But found out i have sleep apnea so with that Comorbidity we resubmitted & it was approved!!

I'm from Oklahoma too. I've just recently made the decision and am starting the process. I'll have to wait til January because right now I've got an extremely high deductible plan and need to switch plans for the new year.
