I met with my surgeon today and I liked him a lot! He spent at least an hour with me, which I was surprised about. Surgeons are usually so damn arrogant you are lucky if they make eye contact!

Anyway, everything gets submitted to my insurance tomorrow and the waiting begins. I hope it doesn't take long to hear back!

Good luck to you. I was also submitted 12/06. I'm still waiting. I think I lost my 10% of the pre-surgery weight just waiting on the approval. Uhg.....this SUCKS!

Where r u guys at? I am in Washington State

I'm in California. In the East Bay.

Good luck to both of you! I remember waiting for approval! It seemed like it took forever, but it was really only 2 days....lol. I hope everything goes through easily for you both!

I just spoke with my insurance company and Doctor's office! I'm approved! My surgery is January 7th!!!! WOOO HOOO!

My paperwork was also submitted on the 13th as well....and I find myself wanting to call them every 5 minutes....I pray that I am approved!!

Good luck! I hope you get some good news soon!

Well I don't know about every 5 minutes, bit I have called every day to check on it

I mean I don't call them every 5 minutes..I was just being funny about that!! I've called 2 times since my paperwork was submitted.....

I mean I don't call them every 5 minutes..I was just being funny about that!! I've called 2 times since my paperwork was submitted.....

You're better than me. I called EVERY DAY!!! LOL

Lol...I don't call everyday because I use their chat service EVERYDAY...LOL!!!!

I called today and found out I am approved! Now I have to get the surgery scheduled and do the 2 week liquid diet.

Well I was denied. I am waiting on the denial letter so I can appeal. I have a letter from my pcp and medical records from her and my ob/gyn. So im hoping for an approval!!!!!!

Do you know what the grounds for denial are?

The lady from my dr said because of weight gained. I have arthritis and degenerative disc disorder in my back. I havent worked since August. I cant exercise...I can barely walk. I also have PCOS which causes me to gain weight as well. Ive changed my eating and everything but I cant drop the weight.
