I'M SOOOO EXCITED, THAT I'M TYPING IN CAPITAL LETTERS AND I KNOW HOW Y'ALL FEEL NOW!!!! I'M APPROVED!!! I JUST GOT THE INSURANCE TO FAX ME A COPY OF THE APPROVAL LETTER AND MY SURGERY IS A GO FOR JANUARY 16TH!!! YAAAAAY!!!!!! I'M SOOOO EXCITED!!!!

Congratulations!!!! I look forward to seeing you on the loser's bench.

I just saw this!!! CONGRATS!!! yay!!!

I was just recently approved for surgery too. I am scheduled for 2/13/12. It has been such a long process for me and it never felt real until I received insurance approval ( which I was not expecting, since it is not a procudre generally covered & usually has to be appealed). Now I am both excited and a little afraid too.

Congratulations!.. That approval can be such a hurdle.

Congrats and good luck!!!!!! I'm having my LapBand removed on 1/13/2012 and my insurance has already approved my Sleeve surgery. It will hopefully be scheduled for the mid or end of February. I am SO EXCITED, too!!!

Congratulations! What a way to start off the new year. I found out I was approved on 12/30/11, it is such an awesome feeling to be that much closer to a healthier and active life.

Keep us posted!

Congrats!! Who are you scheduled with?

I too just received my surgery date, it is January 17th. I now know the feeling everyone has when all is set to go. Good Luck to all the January sleevers!

CONGRATULATIONS! The approval process took 11 months for me, but on Dec 16th I received my approval and had my uneventful surgery on Dec 28th. I can sincerely feel your excitement... What a great way to start your New Year!

Congrats! My file was just submitted to insurance today so I am playing the waiting game right now.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! I'm going in on the 9th of February, isn't it nice to finally be done with the waiting and now on to the losing!!!!
