My packet is being sent to the insurance as we speak!! So please send me your prayers and good luck wishes so that I may get approved!! I'm so exited!!

Mine were submitted on November 30th and I havent heard anything back yet. I am waiting patiently though.

:-( have you called them and bugged every day? That's what I'm gonna do...

I'm in the boat with you! I've got fingers and toes crossed for us all!

I'm a newbie to this site. I finally finished my insurance packet for Cigna and it was submitted on my birthday 11/28 - I was approved on 12/6. Surgery date is on Jan. 25. I've had a flood of emotions from happiness to fear. I'm hope to get some support, laughs and info as I start my journey.

Dimples,

Welcome and this will be a great place to find and get support during your journey! Congrats on getting approved and on your surgery date! I can't wait to see if mine gets approved and I pray I get am answer soon just like you! Fingers crossed for everyone!

Hi I'm new to the board too. My papers were submitted this past Wed. I am overly anxious waiting for a response and incredibly fearful of rejection. I am obsessed with thinking about this surgery and it is actually all I think about. I started the full liquid diet at the end of November to get a head start and to be ready as soon as

the approval comes through. The wait seems

unbearable at times and I'm so sick of thinking about this 24/7 and I don't want to drive my poor husband crazy, but it's a huge decision.

Praying everybody waiting gets a quick approval and has an easy surgery. This too shall pass.

I'm very thankful for all the amazing info and support here. I think I've read every word. So inspired by you all and it feels nice to hear people speak about everything I feel. Very comforting in my very skinny world around me who don't have a clue how it feels.

I got my approval letter in the mail today from FEP Blue. Now I just need to call and schedule surgery. It took 10 days.

Does anybody know if they deal with these on the weekend at all?

Mine took just under 5 weeks to get approved. I was told that they can take up to 30 business days to make their decision. : (. Alas, it did come! Be patient and stay focused! Good luck to you!
