So Excited, Approved and Date set - March 7th

Hi All,

I am so excited I can hardly breath. My surgery was previously set for April 16th. Today I was informed I have been approved by insurance and date bumped up to March 7th. I start the liquid diet in six days. I am just beside myself. I seriously didn't expect to be approved. Don't ask me why...guess it is just my luck, but today when I got the call, I started crying. I have wanted this for so long and I did everything I was told.

I would love it if there are any other March 7th sleevers that would like a support companion as we go through this journey together.

Good luck to us all.

Major hugs of excitement.

Kriss

I know the excitement that you are feeling. I called my insurance yesterday evening and was told that I was approved. But, this morning, I had to call back and just make sure. Lol.....I started my preop diet before I was approved because my surgeon had an earlier opening. My surgery will be this next Thursday, the 21st. I am really anxious. Good luck to you and congratulations!!

WOW congratulations to you to gal. Can't wait to hear how you do and watch your success. I will have my first protein drink on the 21st in toast to your success. :-)

Well thank you very much! I will be sure to post how it all went. It just kind of seems unreal right now. I had planned to go to Mexico if my insurance didn't approve it. I really feel a sense of relief knowing I get to stay here close to home. Where are you located krissj?

congrats - i am sooo excited for you! :)

Congrats!! That is great! I am going to MX and having mine 3/7!! I decided not to fight with the insurance company and try a peer to peer.
