Approved today, surgery scheduled for March 22nd. Any prayers and good thoughts comming my way would be appreciated. BTW, thanks to all for their support and words of wisdom.

Congratulations, I know you are so excited. I hope everything goes well for you.

CONGRATS!!! That is great I was approved yesterday as well. Surgery date is March 3! I have been in this whole process since last Nov. It seemed to be dragging along, but now BAM it is in a week!! I wish you luck!!

Congratulations! *high fives* woot!

I got my surgery date confirmed yesterday too! I've been in the process since September. It's been a long haul.

Best wishes to all!

Yeah, I have been working on this since November. Glad to finally have a date. I had to change it to the 24th (Wednesday) because of prior commitments but two days difference is not much when one has waited (weighted ha) this long.:wink:

Congrats! I got my approval in the mail today as well. I wish my surgery was as soon as yours... my doctor is scheduled 6-8 weeks out, and she only does this surgery on the first and third Thursday of every month.

Started this process with the info seminar on November 14...first meeting with surgeon on 2/1. Paperwork submitted to BCBS of MA on 2/22 - approval faxed to surgeon 2/25!

Surgery 3/9/10:thumbup:

I started my process January 7th and I have been approved as of Feb 7th. My Dr. is booked out til March 17th, that's my lucky day. Can't wait. I had to lose 5% and hope too lose some more while I weight.

I'm so happy for you! I've just started my journey and I'm already wishing it would go faster! You are definately in my thoughts! Lets us know how it goes!!

Congratulations to all you guys. I am so happy for you. This is the begining of the rest of our lives. I will keep all of you in my prayers.

Congratulations on your surgery date! This does seem like a long process, but maybe we're all just anxious to have the surgery and start shedding the pounds. :eek: I started the process back in November. I've been approved by my insurance, but waiting on the surgery date, which I hope to find out next week. Kudos to you!

Congratulations!
