Praying that you can have your surgery soon.

NEW MEMBER. Had my surgery July 2nd, 2015. I am praying for you <3

Hello fellow prayer warriors I am currently awaiting insurance approval for my upcoming surgery. Please pray that we will get an answer soon and also pray for me to have peace and know that God is in control. I am trying to get the surgery done while my kids are on summer vacation but the longer this approval takes the less likely that will be. My name is Linda

I was doing my 2week fast packing my bag and on the Two days before sir guru I was calling to find out if I could have the ELI'S.. It was a heart thing with me had the extra tests done the week before and no one sent report on.. I went to the hospital they did the WLS.. Two days after I got home I got a call saying I was released to have surgury.. I said well that's good cuz I am home recuperating... A## clowns

@@byebyefat - you have a right to be upset! I found out fast during this process I had to be proactive.

This must be a thing... because same happened to me. Luckily I called my insurance company and they were able to push it forward faster but they only received my info 2 days before my scheduled surgery.

Happened to me, too! I waited FOUR WEEKS before calling only to be told it "fell through the cracks".
I was PISSED. I three way called the doctor and the insurance company and made sure they had the paperwork in hand before I hung up with either. I was given my approval immediately.

Wow, it slipped through her mind, ugh. I feel your frustration. I can't even get my insurance company to approve a Echocardiogram Stress test that's scheduled for tomorrow. Makes me wonder how I'll ever be approved for a surgical procedure when this test won't even get approved. ????

I went through the EXACT SAME THING. It took her 2 weeks to submit everything to insurance! I was calling my insurance company every day to see what the status was. I was getting SO ANNOYED. I even had my husband call her to speed things up.
Funny thing is, once it got submitted, it only took 2 days for insurance to approve me. Here's hoping it's the same for you!
Good luck with your upcoming surgery!

Soooooo, Today was my last nutritional visit and I had to wiegh 270 or less, ugh so I get on the scale nervous as heck, and GUESS WHAT, I was 270 even yayyyy so I thought :-( so I get in the room and the nutritionist says to me, I'm sorry unfortunately we won't be able to submit to the insurance today, someone must of caculated it wrong, you actually have to be under 268 .....I was seriously about to cry, I said can I please go pee and take off all of my clothes and be reweighed pleaseeee she looks at me weird and says I don't think it will make a difference but we can try. ...I went to the bathroom and stripped to my bra and panties and nervously got on the scale and guess what, 267.2 whoot whoot , I don't know how or what, but between my clothes being off and me going pee I lost 3 pounds so now its a go, There submitting to the insurance today or Monday at the latest then I have to wait 2-4 weeks for the insurance approval, thank you everyone for all of the support and prayers

Byebyefat- I just started my 2 week liquid liver shrinking diet today. My surgery is on August 25th!! Who would have thought a sugar free Popsicle could taste so good!! Lol

Wow! Amazing! I mean seriously what's 2 lbs? I was told at the beginning of this process not to gain any weight. I have to be 242 or less and I have gained to a whopping 257. So looks like I will have a stuggle there at the end. I am praying that I can get it together before hand. Did you do anything in particular to lose weight in the end? What was the reason you had to be 270?

thank you ????????
awww thank you so much, you made my day ????????

Happy Dance!!!Congratulations!!!

I hope it doesn't take your insurance 2-4 weeks to approve your surgery. I was so fortunate that I had approval 24 hours after it was submitted!!
I applaud your resolve and willingness to fight to be reweighed!!!
You will do great????????????????

Congrats!!! That was a good idea. Praying for a quick approval response from your insurance company.
