I'm so anxious calling everyday checking the status on my insurance and PCP. I hardly sleep at night on forums and you tube stories. I just hope my lord blesses me with the approval of this surgery I'm 230 my highest weight was 2 weeks ago 242 and I was so depress I felt like dyeing I starved my self this couple of days and went down 12 pounds in 1 week and 3 days. I'm pretty sure I will gain them back as soon as I eat something again but that's how my body always been I never been able to maintain a healthy weight. I have high blood pressure and get so fatigue when I walk its so embarrassing to me. It's been my dream to lose weight I've tried so many things but always gain the weight back. Looking for support in this surgery my fiancé is sick and tired of me talking about the surgery he does not like the idea. He says I might get some other guy. Omg how would I do such thing. Anyways I will keep you guys inform if I get approved. Omg please lady's pray for me and this approval if not I don't now wat I'm gonna do living with this depressing body....

Im in the same situation Ive been waiting since d 19 of Nov. Im going crazy this is the worst part I dont know what to do or think. I feel like there taking forever and there just gonna say no at the end. What type of insurance do u have. Wish u d best of luke.

I dont know if I should call n ask again I've asked twice in d past

I called everyday and I could check the status on my insurance website I was on there 3 or 4 times a day. I finally saw it said approved and the dr office hadn't called so I called them and told them I was approved... Lol

How did u do that I called and they said they could only tell my PCP

At the time I had tri care military. I got on their website and signed in and it said check the status of pending request and told me on there.

Thnks

Fiusha, I don't know why your insurance won't tell you! I pray for all of you waiting for approval. That was one of my big fears, along with denial, but I was REALLY blessed and mine approved while my Drs office was on they phone with them submitting my info!

Your story is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too similar to mine. At my highest weight I was 242 and now 230.. if I lose 5 more pounds I'm in trouble. Disqualify, :P

Praying for hunn... good vibes. :)
