Yeah! I'm approved!

I just found out today that my insurance has approved my surgery. I go next Tuesday to set my surgery date. I can't believe that this is really going to happen. I started the process in March. It feels like it has been so slow but I know that it hasn't since my insurance did not require any weigh ins. I hope my surgery date is not going to be too far off, the office said that they book about a month out so hopefully it will be the end of July!

:biggrin:

That's really good news, Shelby! I have an appointment July 1 with the surgeon, and I'm hoping to get a mid August date. I'll keep my fingers crossed for both of us. :biggrin:

I am sooo happy for you both and can't wait to post the same thing. I have done my psych eval and am scheduled for the dietician on June 30th. That is where they take pics and measurements, schedule any pre-op tests needed (they already said upper gi and sleep apnea), and evaluate how close to be able to submit the request to insurance. After that have to do 2 nutrition classes prior to surgery. God I hope the approval process doesn't take long. Don't really wanna wait til winter/holidays to have surgery. I am reading all these posts and getting so educated and excited. My DH laughs at me sometimes cause it seems I bring up WLS and new eating/drinking habits all the time wherever we are. LOL Thank goodness he is behind me in whatever I do. Thanks to everyone for their insight and inspiration.

Once the dr. sent in my paperwork for approval it took less than a week for them to approve!

I am the same way with my husband, he and my kids have been a great support.

I hope you get everything approved quickly!
