  2. Just left my surgeons office!! Scheduled my VSG surgery! 9/12/13. I am very excited, also nervous. Anyone else having surgery on the 12th?
  3. Just wanted to update! This Monday I called to Check on the progress.. And I was informed that my file has been in the wrong department they don't know where the mix up was.. But told me I need to call surg office and have them resend. So.. This Monday had it submitted (to the correct department) and Tuesday I received a phone call that I was approved!!!!! Yay ????????
  4. Hello everyone!! Yesterday I had all of my paper work submitted to my insurance company. Highmark BCBS (PA) anyone else have this insurance!? How did the approval process go for you? I know every case is different but just looking for some others with same insurance for their experience. I am nervous about the approval process. Thanks.

  10. Hello! I am still pre op. I have my 5th and FINAL nut appointment/group session on July 10th ????????. After that appointment I have one final one on one to do and hopefully things will move smoothly and quick!! Fingers crossed. I have done all the hoop jumping and testing. Got clearances from my pcp and has a psych appointment. I am in the final leg of this pre op journey and I am SO SO excited. Can't wait. Good luck in your journeys!

  15. I just had mine today. I was provided a list of Drs that my surgeons office finds acceptable to do the Psych Eval. However they do not schedule for you.. I was a little nervous but appointment went good. I am officially cleared to have surgery. Just have to finish the rest of my requirements! Good luck to you
  16. Yay!! Praying the approval process is easy and quick!! I am on month three of the requirements. Good luck with everything.
