Well I told my surgeons office to submit my file today. She told me it would take them a week before it goes to insurance. Which is good since I was told my PCP letter was supposed to be there already. However, it was not there, and they are out until Monday. I will be hounding them to get the letter there ASAP as soon as they open Monday. If I have to go get it and deliver it myself. I found out today I have Osteoarthritis of both knees. Its bad but good, as he wrote a letter for the insurance as well. Of course he was nice I got his before I left the office. The wait begins...............

Hi Renee, My papers were submitted on 9/11 and I was approved on 9/19. I have a date of 10/17 for Lapband. Once your insurance approves, it will go fast.

Hi I am doing the same thing the waiting game, My Dr said they would send them out by Monday and you know I will be calling them Monday to see if they did , Hope your some's fast, good luck

      Success begins with wise choices I make,I will not let noncompliance be my mistake, The surgery I had was to assist me in changes. My compliance is for a success long range, So I will think before I decide to cheat. Remember the goals I want to meet. For this surgery is not something I was force to do It was what I wanted for a healthy life!

Well I got some interesting news yesterday when I called to make sure my PCP's fax arrived. The office manager answered, she told me my file would be submitted to the insurance by the end of the day. I was told it would take a week. She said she would not be in the office the rest of the week. So she needed to get it done and submitted before she left. So now the wait really begins, its off to the insurance and now I can wait and worry to see what happens next. Hopefully an approval. Good Luck to you all, I will be crossing fingers and toes that we all get approved.                          Renee
