Well Feb 20 is the big day. It's such a relief to know that insurance has approved & this WILL take place. It's been a very long road.
2 years ago i was supposed to have this surgery on Sept 21, 2011 but my crap insurance, United Healthcare denied me 2 days before surgery. They determined that since I'd only been morbidly obese for the past 2 years not the past 5 years, I was not eligible. Basically, they told me I wasn't fat enough for long enough. I appealed four times, to no avail.
I've since started a different job with new, better insurance, and they approved me right away.
As long as I've waited for this, and as much as I want it, I'm still nervous, the closer we get to Feb 20. Can't wait to have the surgery & healing part over with!
