A P P R O V E D!!!!!!!!!!

 I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! i am sooooo happy and excited this evening! I submitted my last piece of paperwork to the Dr last monday and she said they would submit it to insurance "sometime" last week.  I called my insurance tonight to see if they received the paper work and the first thing that came out of her mouth was "we recieved the paperwork on the 5th and mailed out the approval letter on the 8th." i said "so its approved?!" and she said "yes".  I can't believe how easy it was i didn't have to appeal or anything.  I was so nervous because of all the approval horror stories I've heard but my insurance apparently is AMAZING!, all they required was my 5 year weight history and a psych eval and boom, I was approved!!!!!  I CAN'T WAIT TO START MY NEW LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Megan!!!  That is so encourageing - I'm waiting on my final approval right now too! Let us know when you have your date scheduled. Congrats again!!

Hurray.  glad you didn't have to fight for it.  All insurance is different and some are easy, some not so much.  Now to get a date and you will be on your way.

That's pretty amazing.  Can't wait until we hear when you're scheduled for surgery.  GOOD LUCK

Yayyy! Now hang on for the roller coaster ride!

Congrats! Its quite a journey! Welcome to the lightweights!
Now its time to prepare.
Make sure you are walking around as much as you can.
Order sample packs of protein and vites.
Keep researching and asking questions!

Thank you! Great idea on the protein and vitamin packs...i should probably find out what i like before I need to take it!
