Finally got my call! I'm approved! Say what? Yup! I'm approved. Thank you everyone for all the support.

Thats great news how did you find out your insurance made that change? Did you have to call someone?

Thank you will do.

Only me again. Had Drs. apps today okay so information packet for sleeve being submitted. So he said possibly this time next month it will be my turn! Need some positive thoughts y'all. Keep you posted.

Thank you

Without prayer we have nothing. I'm praying for you.

Thank you

I'm waiting for the coordinator to send in my updated packet. I'm going in for another office visit Feb 4th.

I know so quick for some. There seems to be an issue because they first submitted my info for the band, and I was turned down for that. It went to appeal. In the mean time I went back for two or three more visits each time my BMI getting higher. My surgeon suggested I do the sleeve. So the coordinator thinks we need a little bit of buffer time before submitting for the new procedure? I don't know getting so frustrated.

Your right. I've waited this long. They say patience is a virtue.

I don't know? But I think if I look for another Dr., it's going to take me a whole another year to go through tis process I think?

Thanks I pretty much asked her those questions and she said believe me I know what i"m doing. Just give it a little longer. I'm scheduled for another office visit Feb 7th so she's going to have to see me face to face pretty soon.

Hi called my insurance again today. A representative called my drs. Office to talk to my coordinator to get codes and find out where my info was. I said great! Finally! Not an hour later I got a call from my coordinator asking me why a rep was calling her? I told her that was their idea. She said I needed to wait a while longer because they first submitted my information over the summer to have the band but now they're going to do the sleeve. So they can't just rush the change. She just said let her handle it? Any input anybody please?

Sorry about your situation. I know exactly what your going through. I'm going to call her again tommorow and see what happens. Just going to be persistant.

At this point whatever it takes.
