Hello again, fellow sleevers.

I've been on and off this site since October, 2012. My story is long, and it's available in my blog link, so I won't bore anyone with it again.

The latest highlights are that the job I started last July actually covers bariatric surgery. I was submitted in December with my past data, but was denied because the new insurance required 6 months with NUT, as opposed to the 3 months my previous insurer required. 6 consecutive months. After completing an additional three months, January through March, the office got around to resubmitting me around 4/10. I had actually lost so much faith in the front office staff, I continued making my NUT appointments, and actually had my 4th visit with her on Thursday, 4/17. Yesterday, 4/18, I got the call that I have actually been approved.

I would have expected to be a little more excited, but I'm not really. I don't know if it's because I've been relatively successful in the dieting since January, or if I'm waiting to have the rug yanked out from under me again, or if it's just nerves. I don't feel like I'm going to back out of it or anything... just not excited.

So I'm back. I know I need to brush up on all the knowledge I gained here in the past and have probably just plain forgotten.

So my tentative surgery date is 5/19. Here I go!!!

Good luck! You have done great already on your weight loss!

got the call that I have actually been approved.
