I was supposed to be banned on Jan 26th but my pre-op tests showed some gallstones and they are going to remove my gallbladder first. I should get banned 2 to 3 weeks after that surgery. Congrats on everything and good luck.

Thanks for the response....yes my doctors office is great and they are handling everything, the staff is really top notch. It's just the waiting part that's so hard and the time seems like it is going by so slow. I breezed past the other aspects of this process so waiting for this answer is killing me. Nothing will stop me from getting this surgery because I am positive that something good is going to happen soon. One way or another I will make this happen and I am sure I will get some good news soon.

My only question is does anyone have any experience with this or know anything they can tell me? If I get denied does that mean the insurance company will never let me get the surgery? or does it just mean they might make me wait 6 to 12 months before they approve me? Also lets say they say no now and say 6 or 12 months, does that mean the months of Oct, Nov, & Dec will count or do I have to start fresh from when they say so??? Also besides being morbidly obese the only other problem I have is high cholesterol and a failed history of weight loss attempts that span the last decade and even the Clinton administration. I really want and need this surgery.
