ReadyNewM3 if your papers were already submitted i say it doesn't hurt to call the insurance and ask i know i would, just ask for the status on your paperwork i say the worst that can happen is that they tell you they are still working on it ....=)

That is great!! We found out our insurance won't pay regardless. So we are going to save and do it self pay.

So you got a date before the insurance got approved??

Any of tou getting sleeved in Philadelphia or nearby?

Thanks Bethzy. My hubby and I are both doing it. We found a doc here in Dallas for 10900 each. We go to see him in November. Jew are hoping we can come up with the and have surgery in January. That's our plan anyway. Lol

Mammecan....yes i did although my date was tentative for like a day until surgeons secretary got confirmation of the Operating Room of wether or not it was available for the days that my surgeon was available which were either the 10th or 11th for me and 17th or 18th for my MIL (my surgeon works out of 2 hospitals both the same but different locations maybe like 20 minutes from each other) and one of the hospitals has private rooms for the patients after surgery so we decided to go to that 1 (not having to share a room with anyone else and being able to have someone stay with you i think is a PLUS) and my surgeon also has access to the Robot (advanced technology) like he called it in that hospital to work with but i got confirmation of my date within a day and then my paperwork was submitted 2 days after and approved in less than 48 hours.

My hubby has been sooo supportive about the whole process to the point that he is doing pre-op diet with me and is loosing lbs really quick himself so thats been awesome and he wants to do liquid diet with me after surgery lets see how that will go for him lol gotta ♥ them and their support =)

That's exactly how I found out. I called them and said that my dr office submitted for bariatric surgery approval and I was checking the status and if they needed anything else. Give them a call and let us know how you make out, fingers crossed!!!!!
