Welcome! I just started my pre-op diet yesterday. My surgery is July 12th. Best of luck to you!

You look great!! Be proud girl!

You look great!

I'm from Rocky Mount, NC...Dr. Nazri

I actually called my insurance company to make sure they had everything they needed and the rep sent an inquiry to the medical management team and asked them to expedite my request. It took two business days to get the approval. I have worked for insurance companies for several years now....sometimes they just need a push. I would definitely call and check on the approval!

Good luck!!!!

When my husband went with me to my surgeon appointment....that was the ONLY question he asked!

My surgeon said in two weeks if I feel like it.

Hope you feel better soon! Sent from my Motorola Electrify using RNYTalk

I have two best friends...a guy and a girl. The girl has said from the beginning that she absolutely would not support my decision for wls. She doesn't ask questions and refuses to talk about it. It has really put a strain on our friendship. The guy has supported me through it all and is happy that I actually made a decision to put me first for once in my life. I think it depends on the person and my friend feels she's losing that comfort of knowing she isn't the only fat person in our group of friends. Sad but true! With that said....she is one of the few that don't support me. My husband and close family have supported me from day one! That's what matters. Focus on you and know that you made this decision for yourself!!!!!! Sent from my Motorola Electrify using RNYTalk

My surgeon's office told me to call and stay on them and they will process it a little quicker.

Anyone with BCBS-IL know approximately how long it takes for pre-auth approval???
