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!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
