  1. I'm approved! Surgery date is October 18th. Excited and nervous all rolled into one!
  2. Yes! Got my date. October 18th.
  3. Made a chocolate banana smoothie this morning with my protein powder. It was fantastic. I had tried those premixed shakes and they taste horrible. Finally found a good chocolate powder added it to milk and blended in a banana. Delicious! Now I know I can do this! I found out my surgery was approved Tuesday. I should have my date today!
  4. HI everyone. I'm new to the site. I started this process back in February. I did my 6 month medically supervised weight loss already and I finished up in August. My surgeon submitted all the paperwork including all the pre-op testing and evaluations. The insurance denied it saying everything was in order except that they needed a letter from my primary saying that they recommended me for surgery. Seriously! After 6 months of weight management plus giving me a clearance for surgery they denied it for no formal letter. We submitted that letter over a weeke ago and we are still waiting to hear back. Hopefully I will have a date soon!
