Waiting For Insurance Approval

Hello! I've been mostly lurking around here and I've learned a lot these past months from all of you. Now that surgery seems to be getting closer I'm getting excited and anxious at the same time. I don't know if that's normal or not. My surgeon said that he hopes the next time he sees me that I'm a bit more relaxed. And here I thought I was acting cool as a cucumber! My surgeon said that he's pretty sure that I'll get approved because I have BC/BS and they are pretty good about giving OK's to people with BMI's over 40 and mine 42.5. I should hear something within the next week or so. Do any of you attend the Support Meetings in Minot? Are there any in Rugby? I haven't attended any yet and Dr. Kiessling insists that I go to one before I have surgery. Thank you all again for your wisdom.

I am not sure but I think there is a support group in grand forks . I don't know if that is close enough for you .Boy I think if you phoned the Altru Clinic 701-780-6000 and asked for the Bariatric Center I am sure that they would know if there is some thing closer to you .I am Hope every thing goes well for you.Keep in touch.

Thanks Cindy, Grand Forks is quite a distance for me but I did find a support group in Minot but they only meet once a month. I am finding that this forum and others are very very helpful to me and I'm learning quite a bit, actually more than I did at the group meeting in Minot. And I have been approved for surgery, it's set for June 8th.
