Just got a call from my surgeon office...... I'M APPROVED!!!!! was sure it was gonna be a struggle, and was ready to be disappointed. I laughed like a loon when she told me they approved it....

Yay!! Congrats!!!

Woohoo congrats !!!!

Yay!! Congrats! I'm so happy for you!!!

Congratulations to you! May I ask, what does it mean to be "approved by your surgeon?" Does it mean that your insurance approved your surgery or you've jumped thru all the hoops they expected you to, before surgery? Sorry to sound ignorant, just wondering? In the meantime, I'm very happy for you!

It means my surgeon got the approval from the insurance company.... My grandma always said there is no such thing as a stupid question.. If you don't ask you don't find out the answer...

Congrats!!

Gotcha! Thank you! (Thank your grandma for me too!)

Okay, so some insurances need to have approvals then...I didn't know that since my insurance has the WLS as a covered benefit. Well then I'm jumping up & down (NO IT'S NOT AN EARTHQUAKE) for joy for you!!! Good luck in the coming events!!

that's wonderful! I new life will begin!! Feb. 22nd 2012 was my new birth date!! One year later,, 107 lbs. lighter!!

Congratulations! It's so awesome to get that call!

You may find a lot of complication threads. However, Do not let those posts deter your WLS goals. After all, the percentage of complication in ,5%'
