Got my approval today couldn't be happier.. Just hoping my supervisor doesn't deny my FMLA.

i am going June 9 too, unless they get me in earlier. One thing I don't have to worry about is my work, my boss, is so happy for me she has been onboard right from the start

Where are you we can be buddies

Awesome!! I live in Erie Pa.. I could have had it done June 2nd but I wanted to wait until the kids are out of school.

I'm in Illinois, I am excited and nervous, but I am so confident in my surgeon. he has a very low complication rate and in all the years he's been doing bariatic surgery, he has never lost a patient, and only had 1 with a pulmonary embolism.

I'm not nervous about the surgery I'm more nervous about the recovery.

I got a response within 4 days. I have highmark bcbs.

I am in Northern Illinois, in Harvard, My Dr is Heydari his office is in Crystal lake. Are you from IL?

Yes I'm from Chicago, my doctor is dr.lufti, he did my lapband so I consulted with him may 1st about revision surgery, I had my hopes on the gastric bypass, but he wants to do the sleeve. I have a day long appt at his office on next Wednesday to get a trans nasal endoscopy, psych and nutritionist. I hope that I will not be much longer than that! I'm ready to do this surgery.

They sent to my.insurance on 5/2 I was approved Friday. The only reason it's the 9th is that I have to take my pre-op classes
