Good morning all. Just wanted to share my good news. When I got home yesterday waiting for me in the mail was my APPROVAL LETTER FROM IBC!!!! Initially I thought it was a bill so I waited about 5 minutes before opening it and as I read it my feet did a happy dance. Ok...and I also screamed to the top of my lungs - LOL. I felt like I had won the lottery. My last appointment with my surgeon was August 10 and he said he was sending my file to pre-cert but I had no idea approval would come so soon. The last words he said to me were, "Nicole, the next time I see you you'll be looking up at me from a gurney in the OR"... looks like truer words have never been spoken.

Here's wishing my VSG family a Fantabulous Friday!!!

All the best,

Niki

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!! Such exciting news. My doctor turned everything in August 17th. I am hoping to get an answer by next week and have the surgery the last week of September. Good luck with everything. Hopefully I will see you on the losers' bench!
