I just got the call about 45 minutes ago from my surgeon's office saying that my insurance had finally approved me!! YAY!

I was denied at first for not being obese 5 years ago in 2008 (stupid). So my insurance company asked that I have a 2 hour glucose test and a letter from my doctor stating why I am taking Metformin. <I was diagnosed with insulin resistance about 8 years ago, and the insurance company only originally requested 5 years of medical records>

So, after submitting all of that extra stuff to them yesterday (or maybe this morning is when they got it ?) I AM FINALLY APPROVED! :D

Congrats!

Congrats on your surgery!!

I got my letter the other day. Congrats! Here we go. I am getting my scope done on 9/5 and hope to get my surgery date soon.

Congratulations! Do you have your date yet???

Thanks everyone!! I am so excited and relieved to finally know the answer! I don't have a date yet, they center didn't get the approval until late this afternoon. I will call my surgeon on Tuesday morning and set a date for my consultation. I guess I will find out a date then.

Yay! I'm glad that they came around. I bet you'll be getting your date soon!!

I really hope I get a date soon. I think with my work schedule, it may be around the middle of October before I can take off for it. Hoping that will work with the surgeon's office!

I was also originally denied so I know what a relief and how exciting it is when the approval finally comes through. Congratulations!!!

Thank you so much! Yes, it is a major relief! I feel like such a weight has been taken off my shoulder. Now comes the next stress, waiting for surgery day! That's a different kind of anxious though!!

Found out today my surgery date is September 18th! Whoo hoo!!

Congratulations!!!!

That's GREAT news!!!! Welcome!!!
