GOT MY APPROVAL IN 2 DAYS!!!!

HI ALL,  Can't believe it.... that I just spoke with my pcp 2 days ago & I received the approval today. I'm relieved now. I wonder if that's a record?? Now I gotta lose 10-15lbs before my pre-op appt 9-7 And who knows how much before surgery 9-18. Wish me luck everyone!

Hey there, You will be fine!!!! I know you are nervous but take a deep breath and go ahead with a clear head and confidence that you will do great

Hi Melissa, How's Amboy? Any flooding?I'm praying everything goes as smoothly & fast for you as it has me!!! Thanks for the post!

Congrats!!!  I am so happy for you!!!!!  Just curious?  what insurance do you have? I have BCBS and am getting very close also!  Do all people have to lose weight before surgery? The guy up stairs was looking after you!  I think that was a record girl!!! 2 days WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Keep us posted ! Kim

HI THERE, THANKS FOR THE POST. I HAVE BCBS HMO IL. I HAD TO HAVE ALL THE REQUIREMENTS DONE BEFORE I EVEN COULD SEE THE SURGEON. THAT INCLUDED: 12 MONTHS DIETITIAN APPTS{ I'VE SURPASSED THAT}, 6 MONTHS OF DR APPROVED DIET{ THIS IS MY 2ND TIME W/ WW}, I HAVE COMORBITY OF HYPERTENSION, YEARS OF DOCUMENTED FAILED DIETS & SINCE I'VE CONTIMPLATED WLS FOR 3 YEARS I WOULD ASK EVERY DOCTOR I SEEN TO MAKE NOTE ABOUT MY FAT BUTT.{IT HELPS}THANKS TO LEARNING SO MUCH FROM O.H. I SPOKE WITH MY INS CO BEFORE HAND TO SEE IF I WAS RIGHT ON TRACK. AFTER I SAW THE SURGEON IT TOOK HER OFFICE 3 WEEKS TO GET THE PAPERWORK OUT. THE LADY WAS ON VACATION THEN SWAPT I'M SURE. I WOULD JUST CALL & CALL. ONCE MY DEAR PCP RECEIVED THE PAPERS THEY ALREADY WAS AWARE I WAS WAITING. I GUESS THIS IS WHY IT WENT SO FAST. I PRAY YOURS WILL GO FAST TOO!WHAT WLS ARE YOU HAVING? BEST WISHES.
