They are submitting my info to insurance today. I know this is in Gods hands. I just pray they don't require a 6 month diet. When my navigator called to check benefits at the first of January, they told him they evaluate each case by case so they couldn't say if there were requirements other than the 40bmi or 35 with comorbidity. I have found I have severe sleep apnea. My bmi is 46. I am so ready to have this tool to help me achieve my goals.

So please send some positive vibe to me today.

Does your insurance company have an on-line benefits guide? While I called my insurance company to get the requirements and information regarding the surgery what I found most helpful is that the information in writing wasn't disputable. I wish you the best of luck. It only took me 2 days to receive approval from my insurance company. Here's hoping that it is just as speedy for you!

It mentions a 6 month diet attempt but it doesn't say it has to be recent. It doesn't even have to be with a doctor.

So I have a 6 month attempt but it was 2 years ago. So we will see. They started tracking again in January just in case. I am just ready!

Wishing you the best and hope you get a fast approval!
