  1. I'm not sure when my surgery will be but I know it's approaching very soon. I'm trying to get everything in order now. Being that I live alone I want to know how long will I need the help of others before I can get around on my own?
  2. Even though I'm happy you finally got your approval I pray that mine don't take that long. Whew... That was almost a month.
  3. I am driving myself crazy. I called the insurance company and I was told they have received my authorization request from the hospital. I called the hospital and I was so that they didn't verify my insurance for 2014 so they would resubmit the authorization to the insurance company on tomorrow. This is so frustrating... Wait I'm confused. Your insurance got the green light from the hospital, but the hospital did not get the green light from the insurance? How does that work. FYI, I have group health... So my hospital I my insurance... I don't understand much about insurance...My insurance company told me they never received any paperwork from the hospital asking for an authorization. When I called the hospital bed I was too when he tried to check to see if I had insurance coverage for 2014 they couldn't prove it so to hit call back today to find out.Typo sorry... My insurance company told me they never received any paperwork from the hospital asking for an authorization. When I called the hospital back they said they need to see if I have insurance coverage for 2014 so they will call back today to find out and submit my paperwork.

  7. Thanks Peaches for the advice. Congrats as well!
  8. Congrats! I can't wait for mine
  9. I am in the same boat. I am patiently waiting for my approval. I have BCBS of MD and they cover 100% until 2014 then we will have a $1500 deductible. Hoping to get approved and sleeved before.Mine was sent to bcbs on Monday as well. When I call I have been told that it haven't been received as of yet. Now this is frustrating.
  10. Thanks! Congrats to you!
  11. It's been two days for me also. Everyone been telling me I'm not big but maybe I carry it well. I'm 276 and only 5'6, I think that's pretty big knowing in only pounds away from 300. I've been told not to do it by many but this is what I want.
  12. Thank you so much! I can only pray mine won't take long this time of year. I'm soooo excited about change.
  13. I've completed everything required. I wanted to be sleeved before the year was over but hoping it will be done in January. Hopefully, I will be approved and receive a date before the year ends.
  14. Hey, who is your doctor? I will be sleeved on the 17 of the this month. I'm very excited and nervous. Congrats on your upcoming date!
  15. Hey, who is your doctor? I will be sleeved on the 17 of the this month. I'm very excited and nervous. My doctor is Dr. Singh is my doctor and Dr.Davis is my surgeon at Emory
  16. I'm in Forest Park. I haven't been sleeved yet. My last group appointment is this Wednesday and I should get my clearance from the doctor so my paperwork can be submitted to insurance company. I was told I could be sleeved before the month is out or the first of January.
  17. Thank you so much! I will check with them tomorrow
  18. I don't have any serious health issues other than borderline diabetes and morbid obesity. I'm afraid my insurance company may turn me down being that I have no serious health issues. Anyone ever been through any problems like this!
  19. Lol! I hope I did well. I think made it clear that I love Me!
