That's awesome! I'm still pre-op and have a ways to go. I'm likely to be a Late June or July sleever.

What did you have to do to get approved?

What did you have to do to get approved?

To begin with I went to my seminar in August and started getting weight checks an Bp checks that lasted 6 months because that is what my ins co requires and I had some blood work done then I met my surgeon to talk about the surgery process and had a psych eval. It took since august of 13 until now January 22 of 14 . But I think in the end all the hard work so far is gonna pay off:).

Hi, i just was approved on monday. my surgery date is feb 18th. Sothere's a few of us around the same timeframe.

Congrats everyone. I have my surgeon appt feb 11. Ill get my date then hopefully. So excited. Im worried about the pre op diet. Anyone else?

Thank you I asked the surgery coordinator and was told I just have to be on clear liquids the day before. I guess my surgeon will let me no cause I see him the week before my surgery.
