You guys are in my prayers. I've got my stuff done and am waiting for submission to Tricare. Then I'll need yours as well.

I'm doing the same thing. I just keep praying "Lord, if it be a good thing then help me get approved".

Keep us posted! Good luck!

Hello all future bandsters, Like most of you, I to am waiting for the insurance gods to smile upon me to. I called my Dr`s office today to see if they have heard anything, I was informed that the gods have until the 21st of this month. My packet was turned on June 10th. I was told my 30 day period in which they have to make a decision did not start until the god`s got it in their hands. If they wait till the 21st I will be waiting for 6 loooooong weeks. I wanted to let everyone know this so you can ask the question up front and not have to go thru all this waiting. Know when the time starts, and how long you ins company can take before they have to let you know their decision. Good luck to all of you ,and may the gods smile on you.

My surgery date has been set for August 4th!!! I have my pre-op class on the 23 of July. I am really nervous now that it is real!! I cannot wait to start my journey of life after the band. I pray that all goes well. I think I am still in la la land and cannot believe this is actually gonna happen.
