3 Weeks to go on 6 month diet

I am so excited.  I just had my 5th month appointment with my PCP and I go back in two weeks to do all my lab work then three weeks to finish off my 6 month supervised diet.

My PCP said she would have my letter for insurance ready to send for my last visit so I should be submitting to insurance in the next month.  I have everything else done and am ready to go!!!

Wish me luck.

GOOOOOOOD LUCKKKKK
I know how excited you are... I go on the 5th of Oct for my 6th month weigh in... from there my dr takes all her stuff and my stuff and it gets sent over to the surgeon and he submits it to Cigna.... I'm so excited I cannot take it LOL... I keep telling myself if it all gets to my dr's office by th 5th then by the 6th it should all get to Cigna and then I should know if 48 hours!!! Holy crap I'm excited LOL

Isn't it just nerve racking?  I don't think I was this nervous about moving out of my parents house, getting married,  or having my first child.  This is just killing me.  

I have been jumping through hoops for almost a year now and I can't believe I am almost there.  I put the pressure on my PCP to have the letter ready and waiting so I could fax it to my surgeon personally. 

I did not want to take the chance of my PCP taking months to write the final letter.  I have talked to my insurance company at least 4 times this week, just going over what I need and comparing it to what I have in place - even going so far as to checking on plastic surgery, if needed after the weight loss.  (I have a tremendous fear of loose skin)

I have a checklist ready for what to take to the hospital and have already started putting together a recipe book for after surgery.

In the last year I have quit smoking, quit drinking, cut out soda, started exercising, and went to a low fat low carb diet.  (But did not loose any weight because I am insulin resistant)

I know I am anal and way too controlling but I think I have everything ready to go and do not want any surprises before the surgery. Surprises after - I'm okay with - but not before.

I have BCBSMN and I just hope they don't take months to approve!

Wishing you lots of Luck 
I know how you feel.  The Surgeon sent my paperwork in on 9/23 and I called Cigna today and it is Approved.  I can believe it and now I have to get a Upper GI and bloodwork and I can get my surgery date.
