Congrats girlie ...Im encouraged by ur post. I have been having some real difficulty getting my clearance letter due to my drs availabilit but continuing to press after the holiday!

Girl u need to stay on them....my surgeons office said that they had submitted a while ago so I called the insurance company myself...was told they where waiting on something simple...so called back my surgeon and they resubmitted today...2 hours later Approval!! Yay. Anyone know the post op process...need to know how long I NEED to be out of wrk;-)

Yeah...def gonna have to stay on top of them. I think most people go back after 2 weeks but I think I'll stay out 3 weeks to be on the safe side.

I was out of the office 3 wks , I was granted permission to work from home. . Some ppl I have read only take 3-4 days..

Everyone is different.

It does help to take at least a week or two to help get yourself situated with your new way of eating and exercising. My energy level was definitely very low in the afternoon. Good luck....

Congrats to you I can't wait to hear those words. "you are approved"

Thanks!! I've had the lap band before and I was only out of work 2 days....but I'm an ER nurse and I have seen some people come to us post op a week out with drains and pain boluses still in place....

Congrats. I also was approved today. Super excited and nervous.

I know how you feel I just got the call on Thursday that I was approved and I also got a surgery date of 12/31/12. I'm sick to my stomach with nerves! So much stuff is going thru my head! I'm on overload!!!!!! But congrats to you

I can't wait to get my date so it can really sink in that this is happening.... ????

Congrats to all who have been approved.
