Insurance called me back and informed me that the decision process will take 15 days. I asked why another 15 days? The doctor sent the paperwork on November 29th. She didnt know why it just went to review on December 14th. Tomorrow would have been day 15 now another 15 days. Ugh.

Thank you floridays and so true! The wait is a killer I must say. Now I wait for the nurse to call with a date and time and I need blood work, not sure why, just that they do this before surgery.

They want to make sure there are no medical reasons not to do it...thus the blood work... Nothing to worry about.

Oh ok. That makes sense.

I'm feeling a little better tonight. My husband is a wonderful support to me. Thanks everyone for listening. I just want this so bad. My oldest son is getting married Saturday and all I can think about is how I compare to the new in-laws they are really big in body image, eating right, going to the gym. Can't compete there. No pressure, ugh. So some good news would of helped ease the pain of the mind games that I will probably put myself through over the weekend. I guess one day at a time. Sorry just needed to vent this. No one else really understands how being heavy really make me feel. Everyone here at home is tall and slinder and can eat what ever they want.

I know it's hard, but you have got to stop beating yourself up about your appearance. I can assure you with so much focus on outward appearance they have to have issues themselves. Just remember, they are not perfect. And, if they are judging you for your weight, then they probably aren't very good people.

With that said, insurance companies love to drag their feet and take their time. You will get there.

wwwhhhhooooo hhhhhoooo!!!! so happy for you!!!! good luck to you....

Thank you so much. I am so excited. This made my day, week, year!!

Thanks Kimberly, I worked through it and they truely seemed to like me for me. All went well and now I can move on

Wow.... I'm assuming u are in America? I'd say Aussies have it pretty easy! My insurance don't even ask questions about weight or health conditions.. I wasn't really a proper candidate for surgery given I started with a BMI of 27. And no questions were asked at all. I'm glad u got approved. all the best with ur weight loss journey

Thank you so much. Yea for here in America, I really had it easy. I started the process two months ago and now approved. Can't wait!
