Hi. I have just started the process and I have my consult with Dr. LePort at the end of April. I live in B.P but work in Costa Mesa. Good luck to you! How excited are you?

Yeah, I was told yesterday by my insurance company that I was approved then when I called back about 30 minutes later and asked for them to fax it to me so I could fax it to the surgeons office to schedule my consultation, I was told it was pending! What crazy roller coaster I rode yesterday! (Especially since I can't fit in any real ones!) ; )

Hi everyone, I have reviewed this site for a while now and am in the early stages of the whole process. I am awaiting the initial approval from my insurance company to get the consult with the surgeon. I am really excited but nervous too. I have Blue Cross of California. I was told by the insurance company that I should get an answer by tomorrow. I'm hoping they approve me although I am in good health just really fat! This waiting game is horrible! I've only been waiting for a week, it seems like forever though. I will keep you all posted. This forum is great!
