INSURANCE APPROVAL!
I'm doing a happy dance! I just got word that I have insurance approval to move forward with my VSG surgery! I wasn't sure if I was going to have to do a 6-month doc supervised diet, and I'm so happy not to have to. I've been researching WLS for over three years now, with no insurance coverage until this year. I'm ready! I have a few more hoops to jump - blood work and a sleep study and a nutrition class. The sleep study is the biggest hurdle because I have to do an initial visit with the pulmonary doc before I can schedule it. Maybe he'll decide I don't need it? Anyway, I'm really hoping for an April surgery date at this point. I can't even believe I've gotten this far!
Whoop whoop! Congratulations!
