I got a call from my insurance coordinator today and she said the final approval has been confirmed by my insurance. I am BEYOND excited. When I first got the call, I didn't know how to feel! I was so overwhelmed and plus, I was busy working. Now at home, thinking over and looking forward to a new life, I am SO EXCITED. I know how it feels now to wait and wait........and wait, but trust me ..you will find good news soon.

Good luck to everyone. Now, I just need to meet with my surgeon and do pre-op testing. :wub:

Its so exciting when you get it all in the works! I was self pay and i was stressed out till i had everything laid out there...! Good luck with your surgery! and keep us posted with how your doing :wub: Look forward to your posts!

I am on my second day of liquid diet. Not bad right now because I am taking antibiotics for a kidney infection and my stomach is kinda upset due to the meds. But, in a few days I will probably going food crazy. Thank God for this sight. It is such an inspiration.

Yay!!!! Congrats!!! :wub: Im still waiting for that call... its torture having to wait but I know I'll get it soon.

Yea, it does seem that way. Its been about 3 weeks since my paperwork has been submitted to the insurance and it feels like a freaking lifetime! :alien:

So 9/28!!!! Wow. That's exciting. I hope all goes well for you and you have a fast and easy recovery. :wub:

That is awesoeme, congrats!!! I am kinda in the same boat...I finally got my APPROVAL on Monday..and my surgery is scheduled for 9/27!!! It was soooo scary and hearbreaking...orignally my insurance denied me (not enough co-morbidities (whatev)) but then my surgeon appealed and I got it!!! :0) Can't be more excited!!!! Liquid diet is going well, it really isn't as bad as I thought it would be. :wub: Maybe the positive attidude and motivation helps. Good luck to all!!!!! :alien:

I totally understand how you are feeling. I just go my approval from my insurance company. It took about 4-6 weeks to hear back. I go for my testing on 9/23/10. Hang in there, you should hear somehing soon.

I think the insurance can review your paperwork for up to 30 days... so if you're 3 weeks in, hopefully you've only got 1 more week (at most) to wait!

I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for ya!

How wonderful! I felt the same way--it was like when hey told me I was pregnant with my first all those years ago...I stood up..paced, stood still..paced...thought who am I supposed to call again?...paced some more ... I go the 22nd...so the 28th I will be thinking of you all positive vibes. You're gonna do well!

That is awesome! I know how you feel. I was just approved on Tuesday. The insurance company had my paperwork for almost a month and it drove me crazy. Now I'm scheduled for surgery on Oct 12th. :thumbup:

Congratulations!! I am so excited for you!

Wow! Some of you are ahead of me by already scheduling a surgery date! Someone from the doctor's office said they will call me back within 5-7 days to schedule my surgery date and for me to meet with the surgeon. I will be having my surgery with Dr. LePort's surgery team in Orange County.

If anyone has had him or his team do surgery for you, please let me know! So far, they have all been helpful and very pleasant to work with.

I'm so excited to start liquid diets and get the ball rolling on my new life. Great job to everyone :thumbup:

One more question...

How did you guys get the cute little ticker weight tracking chart? The butterfly and flower designs are cute and I'm new to this. I would really like to have one so if someone could take a minute out and help me, I am super grateful!
