So excited!

So I think I've been through the full range of "pre-banding" emotions! I was super anxious and excited and couldn't wait, then I was nervous, scared and questioned if I was making the right decision and now I'm just excited and ready! I am totally at peace as far as the process and how long it may take. I feel well educated and informed about what I'm about to go through.

I hopefully will have an answer by either Friday or Monday as far as finding out if I have pre-auth. I have a BMI of 38 and a diagnosis of Hypertension - from what I understand, I meet my insurance company's requirements (I have Health First Health Plans, a local company) and they do not require a 6 month diet. The insurance lady at my surgeon's office has given me a couple of mixed answers, first she said I needed either a BMI of 40 or 35 and a co-morbidity, but today she told me my history looked good but we "may have trouble" - so who knows? I feel pretty confident about things, but we'll see! If I get approved right away I may be able to have surgery as soon as October 19th! WOOHOO!! :tongue2:
