I have to have a nutrition consult and a psych consult then the submit my info to the insurance company and I should get approved! Have my nutrition consult on wed and psych on Saturday! I thought it was going to take forever to get in to see these people! I'm guessing I should have approval by the end of April! It's happening so fast! :-)

Hello, I just ready your post.... Congratulations, I too am on my way. I had my meeting with the patient advocate today to give all my health info, insurance info etc. I have my first doctor appt. March 27th. Then I meet with the nutritionist April 10th
I also thought it would take forever, I have my other appointment dates set. and if all continues to go well, I am hoping to get my approval by the end of April. Though I don't have the exact date, it looks like my surgery will be in July, as my pre-op appointment is the end of June (as long as there are no bumps along the way *so to speak*)

Please feel free to keep in touch... I would love to hear of your progress. (if you feel ok sharing it).

Sincerely, Angi

I'll keep in touch here. It's great reading everyone's story! I'm hoping to have a surgery date in May. :-)

I am approved! Just have to schedule the surgery! . Yay!

Congrats I told was recently approved in waiting on a date too in so excited

I have to get an EGD first then I have a date of May 27th. They are going to try and get me in on April 29th so I can do this sooner! Started my Preop diet this morning! Protein shakes for breakfast and lunch and a meal with healthy protein and veggies for supper. Thankful it's not all liquids.
