Finally Approved

[StLouisGal 1]

After about a month of waiting and frustration :confused:with my insurance company, my doctor's office finally called :phone:this morning to say I had been approved and can now make my pre-op appointment. :biggrin1: I go for the Pre-op on January 30 and we will set the surgery date then,:eek probably mid to late February. I am excited.:clap2::clap2::clap2: I've been hanging around the NewYears Knockout thread but I guess now this will be home.:whoo:

Take care!

Oh, yes...I wanted to ask the February people if they are having to do the 10 day liquid diet before their surgery.

I'm curious!!

Thanx!!

Yes, my date is January 31 ... keep me posted on your progress!

I am thrilled/jealous for both of you! I'm still fighting incompetent people everywhere to even have my insurance app submitted for approval. This wait (and WEIGHT) is killing me!

Welcome to our band. I have my pre-op on January 30 and hope to be banded in mid to late February. I started filling out paperwork to get the time off work. It's almost as bad as the insurance paperwork. My boss is extremely supportive and says I should take as much time as I need. HR is wanting all the i's dotted and t's crossed. Soon it will all be a dull memory and I will have my band and :car:on the road to being normal sized.

Take care and good luck with getting the date you want. :seeya:
