You are so lucky, I am so happy for you!

Reading posts like this gives me encouragement to keep waiting and not get too sad about that process.

Congratulations!

I got a message yesterday that I was approved!!!!! I am so happy. I was scheduled today for May 12th. That seems a long way away but I know it will be here soon. If I could have I would have jumped on a gurney the day I went to the "Free Seminar"! Let us know when you get your date!:w00t:

I am trying to get approve but I don't understand what is considered five year obesity history. From a doctor or what???

All i had to give them was a list of the different things i have tried to lose weight both supervised and unsupervised and if i was seeing a dr..which one i was seeing...but every insurance company is different. I was fortune enough that i went through a bariatric center that is contracted with my insurance co. so the approval process was much easier.---IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING SURGERY IN YPSILANTI MICHIGAN??
