So my insurance company was taking too long to send an approval I call my doctors office and they claimed that they were working on it after a week and a half I decided to check up on it myself I call the insurance company I asked to speak to a nurse asked her to verify my file she came back on the phone and approved it

YES YES YES SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO DO THINGS FOR YOURSELF MY DOCTORS OFFICE WAS UPSET BUT I COULD CARE LESS

I HAVE A DEADLINE BEFORE I HAVE TO LEAVE THE U.S. TO TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS AND THEY HAVE A JOB TO DO

no offense to anyone but I am happy

I agree - I called the ins company every day and after 3 business days i was approved!!

good for you - did you get your surgery date?

Yeah!! Forget your doctor's office. You have to take care of you and that is all that matters. Congrats on the approval:)

Thank you guys the insurance said the 22 of this month I am waiting for a call from

Docs office for the official date

I got approved last week and am having my surgery on MONDAY here in Amarillo...This is a redo for me I had a lapband removed in December due to complications. Did not ever imagine they would OK it this time since I am 30 lbs less than when I had the lapband.

But praising God it is getting done.

That's great! I'm happy for you! I went today for medical clearance by my primary care physician...and would u believe I lost 5lbs. I really haven't been sticking to the preop diet. I know its bad but I have been trying! Well I'm anxiously waiting for surgery on the 23rd and I hope and pray it all goes well!

Congratulations for taking matters into your own hands and getting your approval.
