Yes! That's so awesome! Congratulations! You just have to make it through whatever your surgeon's pre-op liquid diet is and you'll be there.
I had UHC. THere was a 6 month supervised diet required, but they accepted 2 at my primary care and 4 at surgeon. Approval took a little over 2 weeks after all paperwork was submitted, and I just had the surgery 10 days after scheduled (a couple of days after approval). It seemed like a long time going through the pre-approval, but sure went fast after!

Congratulations! Insurance approval is a huge milestone. Now you can put that worry away and focus on preparing your body for surgery. Good luck!!

So awesome! Your insurance people seem to rock! Mine only came through after some LOUD-ANGRY-WORDS from my bariatric center.
Congratulations!
My surgery is next week and I'm still afraid to let myself get too excited. Like I'm going to jinx it if I do... So I'm going to vicariously enjoy your excitement :)
