the wait is on

yesterday my surgeons office submitted my 5 year weight history for final approval on my lap band with my insurance company( united health care).  it was originally submitted on feb 15.  but then they wanted the 5 year history.  Well its in and now the wait is on.  hopefully it gets approved quickly since im scheduled for surgery on march 19. adam  

I got my fingers crossed for you man!! Sounds like you are on your way.   Happy dance!

Adam, The Waiting can be the hardest part. There’s guys here though, year or more out post-op and down at goal, Who fought insurance and waited for 6 months, plus. They all tend to say- "It was worth the wait!"

Hang in there! Best Wishes- Dx

Adam, Let me offer you a bit of advice…call the insurance company to check on your status.  Call them daily, be a pest.  I made the mistake of waiting a couple of weeks, and then when I called they said they didn’t have me on file.  Once I got things straightened out I had to wait two more weeks for approval.
