Waiting for a miracle...(approval)

[KimmiJo 0]

Hi Everyone! This is my very first post, what a great site! I now know that I'm not alone. Right down to waiting on insurance approval. I am absolutely determined to do what it takes to get this done!! ALOT of fantastic ppl on here, makes me very hopeful. (and excited) Just as soon as I get a surgery date I will be back with pics & no doubt balling my eyes out from happiness about my approval. Talk to you all soon! Good luck!!!!!

Hi KimmiJo,

Good luck on your insurance approval!! Once my insurance company received all the information they needed it didn't take long at all. Any prior medical or personal accounts of weight loss attempts, letters from physicians, etc. can help also.

Let us know what happens!! I just got approval last week and got my surgery date of August 26th!:confused:

Take care,

Katie

I'm waiting for mine too. Once I decided I wanted to have it done I feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles waiting to hear from my doctor and have a date set. My insurance says I have to have a supervised diet for 6 months. How can I wait! I'll be a nervous wreck by then. (lol)

I may have to wait 6 months too. (stupid insurance! lol) I have medical evidence for several yrs at a diet Dr, BUT, it's not 6 months IN A ROW! Crazy, huh? I should know something this week hopefully. I too, am on pins & needles. If I have to wait, it will be the longest 6 months of my life. Let us know what your insurance co. says. Good luck and you are ALL in my prayers!
