  1. I'm so excited.....Was walking in the mall; looking for some earrings and the phone rang in my purse.....before i could answer it the phone stop ringing. I recognize the number and was so nervous i press callback. Well, when i put the phone up to my ear it vibrated and scared me and i almost dropped it...so i decided to listen to the message and the insurance rep at the surgery center said i was APPROVED and CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I nearly junped out my shoes and screamed out loud in the middle of the mall......people were looking all me all kind of crazy.....i didnt care because the excitement i feel now is a long time coming! I have had so many problems with evaluations not making it to my surgeon, delays, you name it....... But by the grace of God it finally came. I do mean grace......the insurance rep quoted " its odd but the insurance company gave approval over the phone before receiving fax copy" So here I come ladies and gents
  2. IM READY

  3. Awaiting Approval

    Today i completed the last step for approval to take place.......now i guess this is the waiting game. I really hope my insurance company will be speedy with their response. I've seen on here that insurance can respond as soon as the same day and some as slow as 30days. Lord knows I hope they give me an approval on Monday. I'm so excited. I really want to get a day and get started
  4. After the Storm......

    Well maded thru the storms in Alabama by the grace of God......now back on my journey to become a "bandster". Tomorrow I will be seeing the Nutritionist for the first time from there the psych eval......then the only thing i have left to do is get my weight documentations from previous Drs. I'm so excited because the insurance rep at my surgeon's ofc said that I could be approved very fast once all documents submitted.....I'm past ready for this......graduation is in 10 days......really want to look a slight bit different before my birthday in August.
     
     
  5. Curious to know.......

    Tomorrow is my consultation with my surgeon......I have lot's of question to ask him. I'm eager to know if I will be approved for the surgery. My BMI is 43.2 and I recently was dx with a insulin resistance disorder,so i dont see why not. A 1/3 of my questions are about band problems. I have read/research alot on this procedure before deciding to take this journey. I'm just ready to do it now. Hope it does not take long to get approve.
    Fingers are cross hopefully will make progress to a surgery date
