Greetings all! I've been reading the forum topics for some time now, and just got approved from my insurance company, so I figured, now that it's really real, that I better introduce myself.

The path to get to this point has been frustrating, as the medical group I have been working with is going through a change, and just hasn't gotten their act together just quite yet. Here I thought the most frustrating and stressful part was going to be waiting for insurance approval.

Nonetheless, I look forward to sharing my experiences and look forward to reading everyone elses to help ease me through this whole process.

Thanks for reading!

Welcome and I hope its smooth sailing from now on, I will be getting my band Monday and look forward to sharing my progress. So far it has been a lot of paper work and Dr. visits, I'll be glad when its all over and I can begin my new life of getting healthy. Good luck to you.

Good luck to you too! Thanks for sharing.

After your Dr's office found out you were approved, how long did it take them to get back to you with a surgical date? I called my Dr's office and let them know I got my approval letter, but they haven't called me back to schedule anything. But it's also only been about three business days.
