I started my journey on Jan 12, 2013 with the seminar. With in 3 months i have completed all my visits and tests.. Now just waiting for the multi disciplinary committee to clear it and then authorization to my insurance. I'm some what worried since my bmi is 35.8 but have 2 co mobilities, but again one of them I was tested for 17 years ago...

Just wondering has anyone gone thru this so called committee who decides if you are having surgery or not? Has anyone been denied? Who are they? Just curious .. Also wish this entire process was more smoother then it has been. Just frustrated with the staff and being under staff doesn't help. I aways have to call them or email them to take care of things and I've already lost one entire month for miscommunication and dumb authorizations from my ***. Crossing my fingers I get approved...

I had a difficult time getting approved, I too have a lower bmi. The third time when we submitted the paperwork and was denied again, my husband went to his HR manager at work explained the situation and I was approved about 36 hours later.

That's great to hear! Congrats.

Just found out it was submitted for approval a few days.. Lets see what happens.
