I was finally approved, took forever it seems. I was so worried about my 5yr weight history since tow of the years my BMI was under 35 with no comorbidities but I got approved!! I am so happy and still waiting on a date. I was told a month ago that my surgeon may not be able to get me in till Jan but I am waiting on a call back now to see if he can get me in this year. I can not afford any more copays to go and see another surgeon.

Congrats! Glad to see your finally given the green light!

Congratulations on getting approved!

I know you're anxious and ready to get your new life started, but at least you can have peace at mind knowing that no matter what its official and this is going to happen. I'm so excited for you!

Congrats on your approval. My dr just sent the paperwork to the insurance company yesterday.....waiting on pins and needles. They said I could be having surgery this month if the approval comes back in a week or two!! Super excited !!

Congrats!! Hopefully your surgeon can get you in this year. I will keep my fingers crossed for you

congrats I am so happy for you

Thank you all!!! I am very excited and I am crossing my fingers too! I guess he is so busy because he is the only WLS in the area that takes Medicaid, I didn't know that in the beginning or I would have chosen another surgeon. I have been calling his office and they said they are shifting appointments to try and fit everyone in before the new year, seems there are a lot of people wanting their surgery before the deductible sets in again. I know for sure though that it will definitely be either this year or the first of January, as long as Im approved Im not gonna complain!
