Health Insurance Approval!!!!!

Hi Everyone, I received a letter today from Health Insurance BC which I thought for sure was a rejection letter.  Opened it up and to my surprise, I was approved.  I sent my papers in late June and I was approved in 2 weeks.  I had submitted papers earlier but I guess they didn't really respond, and I re-sent everything at the urging of Sim and on the letter it says in response to your application of July 3.  They have approved me to have the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery by Dr. J. Hunter in Seattle, WA. at the Virginia Mason Medical Center.  Another patient on the BC board has given this place rave reviews and I'm looking very forward to sitting down and consulting with them. Up here this is a huge deal since we very rarely get approved for any out of country surgeries and usually have to self pay since the lone BC doctor has a 4 year waiting list.  I'm so pumped up right now. Bo

Congrats! Hope you get a date soon.

Congratulations Bo! Lot shorter trip than Mexico, Ya? Hope you get you surgery date soon! Best Wishes- Dx

Thanks guys. Much shorter trip, 2 hour drive.  On top of that, I get lifetime support from a very reputable surgeon which was a huge concern of mine.     

congrats - this is the first step in the rest of your skinny life.......
