Hi,

Live in FL. Benn going to do this for many years & have now found that my ins will cover it:scared2:. I have just completed my 6 mo. dr. visits. & the paperwork has been submitted. Now the waiting begins. it is 6 to 8 weeks to hear back from the insurance. Have you been waiting that long? I started out at 271 & am down to 238. It is a battle to loose weight. I hope that the approval comes quickly. Will be taking the per op class in June. Hope that the liquid diet is not to hard to get through before the surgery.

They told me it could take 6-8 weeks and it took 1. I was scheduled for two weeks from approval...for pre-op diet (which I didn't really bother with until week 2). So be prepared...I felt swept off my feet.
